two lnk styles

I am using the code mentioned below ..but for some reason the the style sheets do not render different. Some of the links on the page partially follow link2 and some of them follow link

Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated!



a:link{
color: #545454;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
}

a:link:visited{
color: #545454;
text-decoration: none;
font-size : 12px;
font-family : Arial, sans-serif;
font-weight : bold;
}

a:link:hover{
font-family : Arial, sans-serif;
text-decoration: underline;
font-size : 12px;
color: Red;
font-weight : bold;
}

/* second link style */

a:link2{
color: #005ACE;
text-decoration: none;
font-size : 10px;
font-family : Arial, sans-serif;
font-weight : bold;
}

a:link2:visited{
color: #005ACE;
text-decoration: none;
font-size : 10px;
font-family : Arial, sans-serif;
font-weight : bold;
}

a:link2:hover{
font-family :Arial, sans-serif;
text-decoration: underline;
font-size : 10px;
color: #FD0000;
font-weight : bold;
}

No such pseudo-class as link2

I was basing my code on this thread...

Previous CF thread (http://codingforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8505)

Wonder what I am doing wrong...

Try the following and read this (http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp) section of w3schools about pseudo classes.

a.link{
color: #545454;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
}

a.link:visited{
color: #545454;
text-decoration: none;
font-size : 12px;
font-family : Arial, sans-serif;
font-weight : bold;
}

a.link:hover{
font-family : Arial, sans-serif;
text-decoration: underline;
font-size : 12px;
color: Red;
font-weight : bold;
}

/* second link style */

a.link2{
color: #005ACE;
text-decoration: none;
font-size : 10px;
font-family : Arial, sans-serif;
font-weight : bold;
}

a.link2:visited{
color: #005ACE;
text-decoration: none;
font-size : 10px;
font-family : Arial, sans-serif;
font-weight : bold;
}

a.link2:hover{
font-family :Arial, sans-serif;
text-decoration: underline;
font-size : 10px;
color: #FD0000;
font-weight : bold;
}

I really appreciate your input and the web link. What a wonderful resource!
