Pseudo class ordering is very importmant.

a:link > a:visited > a:hover > a:active

The a:hover must be placed after the a:link and a:visited calls, since otherwise the cascading rules will override the style of the a:hover rule. Similarly, because a:active is placed after a:hover, the active style will apply when the user both activates and hovers over the a:element.
