iPad not honoring CSS
Has anybody run across:
a:link { }
Not working on ipad? The colors for my links don't seem to work.
I've checked my epub on html editors, my phone (android) & browsers etc. All other mediums besides ipad honor my links?
Anybody else run into this problem?
Thanks, T—

Please don't say the iPad has an issue when it's not the iPad, but the app. You should be specifying which app you are having an issue with. The iPad and the app are two different things.

You could be using iBooks, Marvin, Bluefire or a few other reading apps. Without knowing which app, we may not be able to help.

But I don't see anything that should I'd expect to cause styling problems.

You might try throwing the text inside a span inside the anchor tag and resetting the color there, e.g.

Code:
a:link > span {
        color:#336666;
        text-decoration: none ;
}
Oh, I also notice that you're missing the com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml file. Adding that file in the META-INF folder might make this problem magically disappear:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<display_options>
    <platform name="*">
        <option name="specified-fonts">true</option>
    </platform>
</display_options>

The ePub you have attached has files with filenames that have spaces. Removed the spaces from the filenames and fix accordingly.

Then you can try implementing dgatwood's suggestions.
