I have two navigations - the first an inline navbar that is working just like I want.

The second is a vertical navigation that is also working except for the hover function. It was working fine when I first created the navigation however it quit all of a sudden and I don't know why.

When I set up my vertical navigation I used div class instead of ul as you can see by my css below.

.navigation a:link {
color: #BFDBFF;
text-decoration: none;
}

.navigation a:visited {
color: #D7E2C9;
text-decoration: none;
}

.navigation a:hover; {
color: #004B6F;
text-decoration: none;
}

.navigation a:active {
color: #FFCE9D;
text-decoration: none;
}

Also, the text color isn't changing back to an unvisted state as it would if you hadn't been to a site in a couple of days. It is showing as being visited on my working files and when I upload to the server (no active site to the general public yet as it is still being developed.)

possibly the semi-colon after the word hover might be the solution, try removing it

That was the culprit. Thanks David. Have a great day. Hope it isn't as hot there as it is here in Seattle. It is currently 83 and is supposed to get up to 94. Ugh!

It is but suppose to break overnight and be more seasonal tomorrow here in Northern Ontario Canada.
