i use:

/* Default link style for all unclassed links */
a:link		{	text-decoration : underline ;
			color : #ff0000 ; }

a:visited	{	text-decoration : underline ;
			color : #00ff00 ; }

a:hover		{	text-decoration : underline ;
			color : #0000ff ; }

note that i don't use the a:active -- not because i don't like it, but
because i don't bother for most sites unless the defaults really
offend me...

but this first sets all links... then it sets the visited ones... then it
sets the hover for all links, which overrides active and visited
because it appears last in the order...

something fell off my bookshelf... i should go check...
