CSS a:hover problem

[themind]

Hello all. For some reason (one which I hope somebody can explain to me) a hover in my CSS is not responding. The page is:

http://www.pdmdigital.com/contact.htm

and I'm referring to the link that says "EMAIL US" It is supposed to do exactly as the top nav bar links do, display a 1px solid black border, but does not.

ALSO, why does the text move as you hover over it? And lastly (maybe a CSS pro can help me) why do 'lower' CSS classes/ids effect other classes/ids that have totally different names? Any and all help is greatly appreciated, thanks a lot for taking the time to read this, theMind-

It works for me.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050831 Firefox/1.0.6

The text moves by 1px as you hover over it in order to incorporate the border. CSS classes can affect one another in two different ways: if two styles are being applied that are incompatible, and if one class inherits behaviour from another.

Twey,

Thanks for taking the time to look. I have IE 6 and the border does not show. The text simply shifts down and that's it. Any insight to why it wouldn't work on IE?

This is the only relevant style applied to the link represented by the text 'EMAIL US':

.text a:link {
font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
line-height: 120%;
text-decoration: underline;
color:#000000;
}
.text a:hover {
font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
line-height: 120%;
display: block;
color:#000000;
text-decoration: underline;
}Frankly, I don't see any material difference in the link style as opposed to the hover style and saw no difference on the page in either FF or IE.

It's been changed since the first post. There was code in there to add a border.
