[FX.php List] [off] Link formatting not working

Mon Aug 20 14:47:10 MDT 2012

Hey,

Check this out; this is the test page I did to see if I was truly losing my mind (which of course many of my friends would readily verify)...

This is the page in its entirety:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
a:link {
	color: #FF0000;
}
a:hover {
	color: #05B6FF;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<a href="index.htm">this is a test link.</a>
</body>
</html>

---

As you can see, there's nothing there--no reference to a stylesheet or anything. I would've thought that this would apply the RED color to any <a tag... 

... or in the past, when I used to not use stylesheets, maybe Dreamweaver put a style to all a tags and I just don't remember it... knowing the oddness of Dreamweaver, nothing would surprise me...
