This may be a case of incorrect wording on my part. The class '.one'
found in the embedded style sheet is being ignored in favor of the imported
style-- and now that I review the imported 'linktest.css', maybe it should,
since that selector is more specific. Here's what I have now:
linktest.css:
P.one {text-decoration: line-through;}
sec32.htm
.one {text-decoration: underline;}
So the descriptive text may well be wrong. I'll have to recheck the
section on cascading and verify the correct answer with Hakon. Meanwhile,
this gets a red flag on the fix-list.
Now, as for the behavior changing with or without the base style sheet,
that seems like a browser bug. No matter whether the text is right or
wrong, there is nothing in the base style sheet which would affect it. For
reference, here's the current 'base.css':
BODY {color: black; background-color: #CCCCCC;}
A:link {color: blue;}
A:visited {color: #006600;}
That's it.
