CSS question

[UncleMortis]

I've haven't made a web page for a month or so and I was fiddling around with one the other day. I had the A and A:hover set so that the hover changed colour. However the hover only worked in my div tag and no where else? Have I forgotten to add to make it go through the whole document.
here's the css file... I normally don't add the visited part of the A but this time my A links were upredictable for some reason and not reacting like they should have.

body {color:silver;
	background: white url(back_102.jpeg) repeat center center;}

a:link {color:#4169e1;
	  text-decoration:none;}
a:hover {color:#3cb371;
	   text-decoration:none;}
a:visited {color:#4169e1;
	     text-decoration:none;}
div.links { padding: 0.5em;
	     border-style: solid;
	      border-width: 2px;
	       float:right}
p {font-family: papyrus;
		 times roman}

Try switching position of a:visited and a:hover. W3Schools state that pseudo class a:hover must come after a:link and a:visited in order to work. Hope that helps

i dont think u need a span tag or div tag.
by doing this:
a:link

all <a... will automtically use the style. this type of style is called style for a tag. all tags that has the same name will automatically change...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

I used the div tag so I could move my links about the page easily and keep them together vbkris. I didn't know that there was an order to uphold in css in regard to the different states of the A, Vragabond, I'll keep that in mind next time, as I said, I don't normally use the A:visited, and only use the :hover and the original A. Thanks for the help everyone.
