Selectors (hover, etc) not working in style sheet

[plantfinder]

Can anyone tell me if they see something wrong with these entries? The selectors for 12xlinktxt are not working. They appear to be set up correctly. Below that I have also included the styles for leftnav which are working fine as a reference. I can't seem to figure out where I did something different.The 12xlinktxt style by itself works fine but when viewed in a browser it just shows the default blue link
style with aline under after I link it to something.

}

.12xlinktxt {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bolder;
color: #996600;
text-decoration: none;
}

.12xlinktxt a:hover {
color: #003366;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #CCCC99;
}

.12xlinktxt a:link {
color: #996600;
text-decoration: none;
}

.12xlinktxt a:visited {
color: #996600;
text-decoration: none;

}

Here's the one that works:

}

.lftnavlist2 a:link {
text-decoration: none;
color: #996600;
}

.lftnavlist2 a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #996600;
}

.lftnavlist2 a:hover {
color: #003366;
background-color: #CCCC99;
line-height: normal;

The order in the stlysheet is important :

link
visited
hover
active

Some people remember the anchor order with the mnemonic, LoVe HAte.

I tried re-arranging them and it still doesn't work

Essentially you can't start a class with a number. There are esoteric exceptions, but just change the .12xxx to .z2xxx and it works as expected).
