Hover Effect in Signature..How?

[NK]

Hi:
I want to create a hyperlink in my signature space with HOVER effect
(change color on mouseover) in Outlook 2003 SP-3. I have tried HOVER elements
both inline and in internal CSS stylesheet using Word 2003 as the advanced
signature editor, but it doesn't work. However, when I dump that code into a
seperate .htm/.html file and test, the hover effect works great. Plus, the
hyperlink in my Outlook signature works fine in an Outlook message. I just
can't get the HOVER effect to work in Outlook. I'm also running Word 2003, if
that matters.
Any suggestions? I'm at my wits end.
Thanks in advance.

Word doesn't support that effect while composing but it will work when the
message is received.

Unfortunately not. My code:
<a href="http://www.somewhere.com"
style="{color: blue; background: white}
:visited {color: green}
:hover {background: yellow}
:visited:hover {color: purple}"> link to site </A>

I do not have it in a div or span, if that matters.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Did you ever try your code in a browser? It doesn't even work then as it is
a wrong implementation of the syntax.
There are many tutorials on the Internet available explaining how to make
this work.
