No conflict... the style is affecting the <.a><./a> tag, whether you
use an "href" or "name" or whatever other attribute. It's still an "a"
HTML entity.

Whenever I use stylesheets to create "rollover" links like what you're
going for, I create a class name rather than just relying on the "a"
tag. That way I'm not hemmed in. Something like:

.hoverLink:link       {  color: #0000ff;
                         line-height: 120%;
                         font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
                         font-size: 12px; }

.hoverLink:visited    {  color: #A000C0;
                         line-height: 120%;
                         font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
                         font-size: 12px; }

.hoverLink:hover      {  color: #000000;
                         text-decoration:underline overline;
                         line-height: 120%;
                         background-color: #ffff00;
                         font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
                         font-size: 12px; }   

.hoverLink:active     {  color: #000000;
                         line-height: 120%;
                         background-color: #ffff00;
                         font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
                         font-size: 12px; }   

Or whatever.... :)
