Link Color

Links on jefftidball.com should be the same color as the text surrounding them. They should most certainly not be blue or purple. They should also have a dotted underline which becomes solid (but not more bulky) when your pointer hovers over them. If this is not the case on your browser, please leave a comment or send an e-mail describing what you're seeing, and what browser and version you're using.

Also, rejoice in the triumphant return of Choose or Perish.

My links are blue, sorry dude, but I'm at work... and it's most definitely time to go.

Bright blue for me, with Internet Explorer 6.0. The dotted/solid line thing works fine.

The underlines get bulkier for me (Safari v1.2.2, Mac OS X 10.3.4). Small price to pay, though, for such delightful progress in the design. (CSS is evil!)

Using Netscape 7.1, the links are the same color as the rest of the text and have the dotted underline indicator. However, when the pointer hovers over the link, the solid line appears to be about twice as thick as the dotted line would be if it were a solid line.

I confirm the IE 6.0 behavior of blue link text with correctly behaving underline on hover. I'll give Safari a try when I get home and report back.

I got the blue, but I got no lines. Then again, I'm using an ancient IE 5, so take it with salt.

Dotted/solid underline seems to work, but the links are blue. IE6 service pack 1 (version 6.0.2800.1106) on Win2K here at the office.

my dotted/solid line works fine, btw, it's just that my links are blue

Everything is operating according to spec on Mozilla's Firefox.

Hmm... I'm running firefox too, but I get the thickening lines under links. No funky colors though.

Whoops. I missed the part where the line isn't supposed to thicken. Yeah, it does thicken on Firefox over here, too.

At home with Safari now and, yep, thickening of the line on hover. The site looks much better without the blue links, however, so I'd concentrate on getting that to work over getting the hover to work.
