Re: CSS and NS 4.7>

Well that's your problem right there.  Alternate link classes should be=20
specified this way:

a.normal:link {  color: #990033; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}
a.offwhite:link { color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Arial, Helvetica,=
 sans-serif;}

Notice that the class name comes first, then the :link or :visited or=20
whatever.  Try this and it should work.

HTH!
