Hi, here are the various link states:

A:link { color: red } /* unvisited links */
A:visited { color: blue } /* visited links */
A:hover { color: yellow } /* user hovers */
A:active { color: lime } /* active links */

:thumbsup:

You also have other pseudo-selectors that CSS2 compliant browsers should support (which is only currently Gecko and Opera it seems) on any element:

a:before
a:after
a:first-child
a:first-letter
a:first-line

etc

Yes, to be complete, I left them out to try to avoid confusion (taking in too much at once), but technically, the pseudo-selectors probably should have been mentioned. Given that these selectors have very limited browser support, as you noted, I would only consider them as an 'at least i know them' element as opposed to implimenting them for a while (IMO) ;).

But they are incredibly useful when IE gets it act together ;).

Content generation through CSS is quite cool. (with :before, :after, and content: property)
