You're right. I just figured it out before I saw the post. The color was
originally something like #E6E6E6 but I just double clicked it and changed
it to red. Didn't notice it hadn't grabbed the #.

Probably right.

Actually, have been looking at the tutorials but I still get confused as to
when to use:
..gridHeaderStyle a:link, .gridHeaderStyle a:visited {
color:#red;
}
or
a.gridHeaderStyle:link, a.gridHeaderStyle:visited {
color:#red;
}
It seems that the 1st is the correct one, in this case. This was what I was
testing and of course couldn't get past the error.
Thanks,
Tom
