Thank you Keith,
I should know better...& I did already have those specs bookmarked.  I =
have so much stuff to learn I was just momentarily overwhelmed by my =
archives.  I knew when I first posted this problem that it was something =
oh so simple I was not seeing.
<not closing the ashamed tag...still ashamed<S>>

This might help. Quoting from Clause 5.11.3 of the CSS2 specification,=20
referring to the order in which these pseudo-classes are set out in the =
style=20
sheet:

"Note that the A:hover must be placed after the A:link and A:visited =
rules,=20
since otherwise the cascading rules will hide the 'color' property of =
the=20
A:hover rule."
