I'm learning CSS. I'm getting confused when I faced up the order ':hover must come after :link and :visited'.
Practically, in order to visit a link, we have to click it first and in order to click the link, we need to hover it. If so, why such constraints in order..?? Kindly help.
Given CSS selectors that are equally specific, rules are applied in order.
If an anchor is both a link and hovered, then both rules will apply.
a:hover { color: blue; }
a:link { color: red; }
It is hovered so it is blue, but it is a link, so the blue is overwritten with red.
That makes the hover rule more-or-less pointless.
