style sheet problems

I set up a REALLY simple style sheet that defines links, visited links, active links (didn't work), and hovered links.

But that isn't the problem. The problem is that the visited links do not show the hover properties!

So I'm askin', what could the problem be?? Maybe with some help I can go a little farther with this whole, Style sheet thing. THanks! :D

Sure you didn't make the visited and hover colors the same (like you did last time :p) ?

<,,STYLE TYPE="text/css">
-a:link { color: #666666; text-decoration: none }
-a:active { color: #666666; text-decoration: none }
-a:visited { color: #666666; text-decoration: none }
-a:hover { color: #000000; text-decoration: background: #6f6f6f }
<,,/STYLE>

copy and paste it, and obviously choose your own colors, hte background thing doesn't work, because it's in the wrong place, but i'm sure u can figure that part out. and obviously,
omit the two commas at the begning of the style tag, and at the end of the closing tag. and get rid of the - at the beginning of each a: blah blah.

are you remembering to put it in the head?
