html - text-decoration not working for visited state link -


i'm new on css , trying understand how links modified due changed state. on scenario, want change text-decoration line-through when link on visited state. however, neither on mozilla nor chrome browser, text-decoration of text content not updated line-through when link on visited state, shown below. did go wrong?

please notify color updated (to green) when link state changed visited while text-decoration stays same (see. demo #1);

note: there bug report mozilla same issue: mozilla bug #645786 , on bug report. problem reproduce tag.class:state selector (a.:visited) (see demo #2)
