The active links for general navigation do not work (do not change color to the active link color as assigned in drupal.css) in IE 6. Not sure if making hacks for browsers to get functionality to work is priority, nor whether is could be classified as really a bug, but just noticed it.

Can anybody confirm this for current cvs?

I can confirm this using a CVS checkout from approx. 5 minutes ago... IE6, WinXP-SP1... with all core themes.

Links marked with class="active" in the navigation panel appear in the "visited" color rather than the "active" color. These same links appear in the expected color in both Firefox and Opera. The problem can also be observed here on drupal.org.

Not knowing much about overcoming IE's stupid CSS shortcomings, that's really all I can add.

this is still a problem. it can be seen on drupal.org with IE6

oops. looks like it is actually just a drupal.org issue.

perhaps it is the bluebeach theme or just drupal's style sheets.

tested on a 4.5 site and a 4.6(rc) site and i cannot reproduce.

in drupal.css this code is not enough for IE6 to display links in black

li a.active {
  color: #000;
}

if it is changed to this:

li a.active:link {
  color: #000;
}
li a.active:visited {
  color: #000;
}

there will be no problem.

instead of drupal.css this can also be applied per theme.

If this hasn't been fixed in 4 years I don't think it will be and will be moot with the redesign anyway.
