Forgive me for asking such a probably simple question, but does anyone know
a good source of information about these tags:

<STYLE>
A:link {text-decoration: none}
A:link {color: #FFBB00}
A:visited {text-decoration: none}
A:visited {color: #FF9F00}
A:hover {color: #99CCFF}
A:hover {text-decoration: underline}
</STYLE>

I'm fairly fluent in HTML, but know next to nothing in anything else (java
script, java, css etc.) IS this actually a form of css??

Answer: Yes.

Is it just an IE5 thing? Is there anything as simple for netscape or lower
versions of IE? Will this do any damage to a page in anything other then
IE5??

Answer: CSS, in particular the properties for the link (A) tag (except
HOVER), are supported in NN4+ and IE3+. Hover is supported in IE3+ and will
NOT break in NN. It just won't work. I've seen some posts in HWG lists about
making something similar work for NN, but the solutions involved dynamic
HTML and seem more problem to implement than to just ignore.
