I’m wondering if anyone else has had this problem / might have a solution for it. It seems so ridiculous to me, i’m just hoping its my browser thats acting up.

Basically, when i apply a class to a link, some attributes such as FONT-FAMILY, FONT-SIZE and FONT-WEIGHT do not get applied if the link is simply “#” (i am using this link for an onmouseover effect). However the color and text-decoration do get applied.

If anyone can suggest a workaround to this, possibly another null link i can use, i would appreciate it.

For null links I use “javascript: void()” instead of “#”, you can try it and see if it makes a difference.
