CSS Hover attribute

[baltazar]

I have a horizontal CSS menu that has the following HTML structure.
<ul>
<li><a class="top_link">Item 1</a></li>
</ul>

I would like to know what the difference is between the following two CSS codes and what they do. (top_link is the class name I have given to the a tag) I am especially confused about the second one.

li a.top_link :hover

li:hover > a.top_link

Thanks

Second one is working as a default hyper link. it's working like default link "a.top_link" and a.top_link:hover will show u the result when u will put ur mouse over on the link. If u will remove "a.top_link' from ur stylee then "a.top_link :hover' will not work anymore.

a:link	{ color: #898989; text-decoration: none; } /* link normal*/
a:visited	{ color: #898989; text-decoration: none; } /* previously visited link*/
a:hover	{ color: #d3d3d3; text-decoration: underline; } /* mouse over the link*/
a:active	{ color: #d2d2d2; text-decoration: none; } /* onclick the link*/

hope that answers you
