CSS link color

[balance]

I am having constant trouble getting the basic link to take the color I assign in a .css file. Visited, active, and hover are all working but the link won't. The body tag contains no reference to the color of links and still it defaults to the blue.

Why would the others work but not this one? Here is the code I am using:

A:link
{
color: #0066CC;
}


Thanks for all the help

This may not make sense but I found that the order of the code has an effect. I think it should be:
a:link
a:active
a:visited
a:hover

Does this make sense, probably not! :/ But I had trouble before that the colours were not displaying the way i wanted them to and when I rearranged the code as above it worked! Wierd.

Just specify the color of the a-tag itself, like:
A { color: #0066CC }

Here's an example...

<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
<!--
a:active {  color: #00FF00; text-decoration: none}
a:hover {  color: #0099FF; text-decoration: none}
a:link {  color: #FFCC33; text-decoration: none}
a:visited {  color: #003399}
-->
</style>

But don't forget to clear the cache before reviewing the page.

Hope it'll help ;-) Have Fun...
