Hi Vickie,
I think Tenley is right...
Try changing your style sheet to read:

	 <STYLE TYPE="text/css">
	 <!--
	      a:link { text-decoration: none; color: #0000CC }
	      a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #663366 }
	      a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #FF0000 } -->
	 </STYLE>

I think that should work for both major browsers.

While I'm on, I don't suppose you've had any luck getting @font-face
rules to work properly have you?

Good luck with your style sheets.

	Hi Vickie,

	I think that your reference to a: should be A:Link, and your
reference to
	a:vlink should be A:Visited. I "THINK" that you could use A
without the colon,
	but Netscape uses that to make your targets (A NAME="") do
things.
