css - Do I need to specify each link color state? -

i'm using following pseudo classes:

a.recentposttitle:link,a.recentposttitle:visited {color:#000;} a.recentposttitle:hover {color:#56a49f;} a.recentposttitle:active {color:#000;} 

do need explicit or there more compressed way same result?

no, there no shorthand. selectors can be:

a {} 

to select links, or:

.recentposttitle {} 

to .recentposttitle elements (we know links already).

---

and thing, :link not needed really, can write:

a {} a:visited {} a:hover {} a:active {} 

when write a {}, set declaration possible situations, so:

a {} 

is identical to:

a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active {} 

• and remember, order of pseudo classes importent:
  • :link
  • :visited
  • :hover
  • :active
• or remember love hate.
