RH Automatically Changing HTML Code for Links

Question

For some reason, RH is doing something to the links I create. In my stylesheet, I have the following code for links:
a {
    color: #054abc;
    cursor: pointer;
a:hover {
    color: #336699;
    text-decoration: none;
a:active {
    color: #333333;
When I create a link, the HTML code looks like this *at first*:
<a href="Development_Plan.htm">Development Plan</a>
But then, after I save the file and switch to HTML view, the code looks like this:
<a href=" Development_Plan.htm" style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline; ">Transcript</a>
I am not doing anything other than saving the file, and that apparently causes RH to automatically add the style (color and text-decoration). Why is RH adding that? It's causing my links not to change color when you hover over them.
How can I make RH stop doing that, so my links display as defined in the stylesheet?

Hi,
This is strange behaviour. How exactly do you create a hyperlink? I have seen this behaviour only with links that are empty or contain a single space.
As a workaround, in your css, add the !important declaration to your hover styles:
a:hover
Although this isn't an elegant solution, it will overwrite the inline styling of the link and thus change colour on hover.
