here is my code, 

```
<a href="mailto:jsnmassage@gmail.com"><span id="text1a">
                        <label>
                            Email Jasen</label></span></a>
                    <br />

```

here is the css:

```
a  { text-decoration: none;  }

a:visited { color: blue; }
a:hover   { color: red; }

#text1a {

    color: blue;

}

```

it works fine in Google Chrome, but not in IE9 windows 7. 
is there something special that I need to do?
