CSS text decoration confusion

Hi,

I set up a default description for links throughout a site using the following:

a:link {
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 12pt;
	font-style: italic;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: 00698c;
	text-decoration: none}


All is working fine, however, there are some links that I want to turn OFF 
this description and use the default link values. So I figured I would 
define a "regularlink" and applied it to the link as required.

.regularlink{
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 12pt;
	font-style: italic;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: Blue;
	text-decoration : underline;
}

So I coded it like this--
<.A href="http://www.domain.com" class="regularlink">www.domain.com</A>

However, I am finding that the "regularlink" is not being applied. It still 
goes to the first definition.

Any ideas/suggestions as to why this would be happening?
