Question

a:link {

text-decoration:none; color:transparent; }

a:visited {

text-decoration: none; color:transparent; }

Answer 1

Some googling on this issue shows that IE doesn't support color:transparent.

Try doing this for IE

a:link{color: transparent; width: 100%; filter: alpha(opacity=0)}
a:visited{color: transparent;  width: 100%; filter:alpha(opacity=0)}

Please do note that providing width seems to be necessary for opacity to take effect
