a:link {
color: orange;
}
Applied the above to my stylesheet - on the new workspace and it does turn orange, but doesn't change color when visited. Even after applying
a:visited {
color: lightblue;
}
I'm on Firefox.

27,485 PointsYour code should work fine in production. It might just be a bug with workspaces on Firefox.

27,485 PointsHi Adam,
In what order are you applying your styles?
a:link { color: red; }
a:visited { color: blue; }
a:hover { color: yellow; }
a:active { color: lime; }

Courses Plus Student 3,167 PointsMust be a browser issue. I was also using Firefox (Version 46.0.1) when the malfunction occurred. Then I switched to Microsoft Edge (for Windows 10) and now it's working.
