Link pseudo classes overwrite Themeroller styles in IE6

[klaus.hartl]

Tab styles get overwritten if pseudo classes like a:link, a:visited are defined in site stylesheet (as '.ui-state-XXX a' used).

Cannot reproduce. Seems to be a specificity issue - in the end every style from Themeroller can break.

[klaus.hartl]

Through higher specificity you can break every single style defined in Themeroller - I don't see a feasible way to guard against that.

It can be somewhat mitigated by changing

.ui-state-XXX a { ... }

to

.ui-state-XXX a:link, .ui-state-XXX a:visited { ... }

If the styles for links are set as the following in the style sheet:

a:link, a:visited { ... }

Are we talking about IE6?

[Sam]

Yes it is in IE6. Using jQuery UI 1.5 ThemeRoller generated theme.
