Set up a hyperlink to change colors on hover?

[Carole]

In FP 2003, I am using a style sheet with the following in it:
a.menu {font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt;}
a.menu:hover {color: ffffff; text-decoration: underline;}
a.menu:link {color: ffdd55;}
a.menu:active {color: ffdd55;}
a.menu:visited {color: ffdd55;}

This works except for the color change on hover. I can change the
text-decoration to none, and that works, so I know my "menu" class is working
for the most part. I have tried taking this out and defining roll-over
characteristics for the page, but that still does not work. The text stays
yellow (ffdd55).

The correct order is:
Link. active, visited, hover.

Thank you! That was the problem!

The position of active in the list is almost irrelevant. The real correct
order is just link-hover. Where you put visited is dependent on whether you
want visited links to hover or not.
