[Pro] Link Styles Problem

A vexing problem…

I followed Dan Jasker’s fine instructions in his screencast. A lot of gotchas. I went with the sitewide styles for link, hover, etc.I have the “text-decoration: non !important” extension applied.

I am sure that there is no “text link style” action applied. I have confirmed that the page and html box link style inspectors are blank.

However, the generated code is below. You can see that at the bottom of the clipping there are unwanted “extra” link style assignments. (extra linefeeds added for readability here)

a:link { background-color:#f3f3f3; cursor:crosshair; text-decoration:none !important }

a:visited { background-color:#f3f3f3; text-decoration:none !important }

a:hover { background-color:#f3f3f3; text-decoration:none !important }

a:active { background-color:#f3f3f3; text-decoration:none !important }

em { font-style:italic }

h1 { font-weight:bold; font-size:18px }

h1:first-child { margin-top:0px }

h2 { font-weight:bold; font-size:16px }

h2:first-child { margin-top:0px }

h3 { font-weight:bold; font-size:14px }

h3:first-child { margin-top:0px }

strong { font-weight:bold }

a:link { text-decoration:overline; background-color:#ccc }

a:hover { background-color:#b3b3b3; text-decoration:none !important }

a:active { background-color:#b3b3b3; text-decoration:none !important }

There are no duplicates here which suggests to me that you created these styles - either manually or by applying them.

So if you don’t want/need the extras then delete by editing your styles or apply style:no style to selected text to remove it.

Sorry to be dense.

  1. You said there are no duplicates? See the duplicates for a:link, a:hover and a:active? These are the ones that are giving me trouble.

  2. These are not styles that can be deleted by the method you suggest. Also, the three “extra” styles to not appear in the edit styles list (or the styles inspector).

Yes but their properties are different so they aren’t actually duplicates.

I haven’t seen this particular Screencast of Dan’s - how were these styles created/added? In the Style editor? or Page>HTML Markup?

Have you a page online we can see?
