active first-child focus hover There is a css declaration order for this to work properly as was mentioned earlier, although it didn't cover this particular option, it does make a difference. I've tested this on Chrome. The order is a:link { color: red; } a:visited { color: blue; } a:visited:hover { color: yellow; } a:hover { color: green; } a:active { color: gray; } It will work whether it comes before or after a:hover as long as both a:hover and a:visited:hover are after a:visited and before a:active. I just prefer to keep the two visited links together and the two hovers together.
