Why does my css link class color show in firefox but not internet explorer?

[project96gsr]

a:hover.links {
color:#000000;
}

Shows fine in my <a class ="links" href= "blablahlbha">haha</a> on Firefox but not IE?

?? well your css is wrong.

a: hover {
color:#000;
}


If you're specifying it for a particular defined class.

.links a:hover {
color:#000;
}
