Re: Link Colors

a:link {color: red}
a:visited {color: blue}
a:hover {color: white}

Be aware that a:hover does not work in NN 4.7 and under. It will render your
links unusable. If you want to use the hover attribute for IE users, just
make 2 seperate style sheets and use a browser sniffer script to serve them
up. Also, a:hover MUST come last in order or it won't work and will mess up
your other link attributes.
