Really dumb question.....

Hey. Now i've been using CSS for a while on one of my site just for rollover effects and that sorta thing. But i have been x-peri-ment'n latly and it doesn't seemt to like me that much anymore I think it want a divorce .

BUT getting back to what is my problem, i have my linked stylesheet set up, and in the page properties I have nothing selected for link colours, etc. Now the effect i want is for links to be underlined in white (8pt) and bold. for the a:hover i want the underline to dissapear. Got that working but after you click it and it becomes 'clicked' it just goes purple. (and yess i have the a:visited tag happening too)

any ideas (i'll put an example up of what is happenign soon if you need)

thanks in advance

this is what a have at the moment:

<!--
a:hover { color: #006666; text-decoration: none}
a:active { text-decoration: none}
a:link { text-decoration: underline}
a:visited { text-decoration: underline}
.menuheading { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bolder}
.normaltext { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt}
body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none}


-->

What I usually do is to group the non hovered classes into one rule, and then write a sepparate a:hover, like this:

a, a:active, a:link, a:visited {
color: #fff;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none
}

a:hover {
color: #ccc;
text-decoration: underline overline;
}

Remember when you click a link it becomes "active", and when you click anywhere in the page afterwards it becomes "visited".

So define the style for active and visited, also.
