Apologies if this has been addressed before, I'm new to these forums and looked high and low for the FAQ but found nary a link (not even in the place that told me to look at the FAQ 
)
If I'm not mistaken, IE does not accept the "a:visited" css
As such how does one work around styling the text in such links? I've been able to remove the automatic underline via ".something {text-decoration: none;}".
Specifically I'm interested in altering the color of the visited link and have not seen anything online telling me how to accomplish this via CSS in IE.
I'm not sure if example code is needed here, but I'll try and include something relevant
For firefox, this works
a:visited {text-decoration: none;
color: #FFF;}
For IE that doesn't

IE will use that code, if it's applied correctly. That's why Deuce is asking about validation, and all the other stuff. There's probably something else that's going wrong.
Something to consider:
Be sure order your CSS declarations like this:
a
a:link
a:visited
a:hover
a:active
Doing it in a different order can cause unexpected results.

Thanks much!
Yay it worked out! Looked at the coding again based on your suggestion.
I had the correct order for the pseudo classes but had the syntax wrong.
As to the doctype:
No link sadly, don't know much in the way of hosting the site on my work's servers, and not ready to host it outside of those servers.
Thanks much again!

You could always just post
You could always just post all the code here, like we ask for 
Never mind, glad you got it sorted
