CSS Style attribute and mailto: link
Can someone tell me why css style settings for links won't effect a mailto: link? Is there anyway to make it happen without individually coding style into each mailto: link?
Thanks, HeadElf

It should work...a link with a mailto: protocol is, afaik, treated just like any other Link object by CSS. Could you provide some sample code that doesn't style properly?

Here's the content of the css file: <style type="text/css"> A:link { text-decoration: none; color:"#990000"; } A:visited {text-decoration: none; color:"#009900"; } A:active { text-decoration: none; color:"#999900"; } A:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: red;} BODY {background-image:url(images/gilcrestwelshponiesbg.gif);} </style> Here's the link. Ive messed with this a while and ANY link with a mailto: internal reference is treated like a not styled link. All the other links work just fine and look as they ought.

Well, you've got some syntax errors:
color:"#990000"; No quotes around values in a style sheet, they're assumed to be strings. Regardless - this still displays correctly (IE 5.5/Windows 2000pro) here. Correct the errors and see, but if the non-mailto links are OK it must be something else. What platform are you using?

IE 5.5 I can use the style attribute in the link itself and it works fine. I can take the css content and put it in the header and it works fine. If I use the included reference it doesn't work for mailto:'s.
