CSS link color issue

[[Admin] skstarkiller]

I am using a contributed theme called Colourise on a Drupal 6 site (www.lamplightartists.com). The theme allows me to override the css using a custom.css file in the theme folder.

I need to override the link colors, as blue and purple don't show up so well against the back background.I have added the following syntax in the custom.css file. It works for visited, active, and hover, but not for just plain links...

a:link {
color: #88bb30;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
color: #f5be61;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:active {
color: #88bb30;
text-decoration: none;
}

Anyone have any ideas?

Got the answer on Drupal.org...

One thing,

style type="text/css" and /style

tag should not be included in any external CSS files.

Did you get it working another way?
