I am trying to make a web page, but its not online yet. Part of what im trying to do is change my links. Here is the link section of my external CSS sheet.
A:link
{ text-decoration: value; [underline, underline overline, none] color:#00ccff; }
A:visited
{ text-decoration: value; [underline, none] color:#cc99ff; }
A:active
{ text-decoration: value; [overline, none] color:#00ccff; }
A:hover
{ text-decoration: value; [underline overline, none] color:#6699ff; }

I got it off the CSS tutorial in Lissa's main page and have looked over many of the former link questions, but none help. Even with this, my link has yet to be anything else than a default IE link. Sorry I can't link you to my page, because it is only existent on my C drive.

where it says value, you have to put the value there- the ones in brackets are the possible values

try something like this:

A:link
{ text-decoration: underline; color:#00ccff; }
A:visited
{ text-decoration: none; color:#cc99ff; }
A:active
{ text-decoration: underline; color:#00ccff; }
A:hover
{ text-decoration: none; color:#6699ff; }

Thanks, I just couldnt figure it out!
