      How many threads do you need asking this?

      Anyway, there is no way to do that using css.
      You have to set the a tags separate from the body tags.

          two seemed to work out fine, and are you sure there's no way?

              Yes, I'm sure. You can set vlinks and hlinks in the <body> tag if you wish, but that's separate of CSS.
              If you insist on using CSS, then you have to set the a tags separate of the body tags.

                  Are you sure you have to put it *in* the body element? Usually it's more like:

                  BODY { background: #000000 blah blah whatever; }
                  A:LINK { color: #000000; }
                  A:VISITED { color: #000000; }
                  A:ACTIVE { color: #000000; }


                  Otherwise, I think you'd have to use the body tag.

                      Example using your own code:

                      BODY {
                      font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, sans-serif;
                      font-size: 14pt;
                      color: 193C24;
                      background-color: E4F9CC;

                      }

                      A:LINK { color: #000000; }
                      A:VISITED { color: #000000; }
                      A:ACTIVE { color: #000000; }

                          If you do like this, it will only belong to the body tag

                          body a:active { color:white}
                          body a:visited{ color:white}

                          But it's basically the same since both covers the whole html page

                          a:active {color:white}
                          a:visited{ color:white}

                          Search on CSS childs and you can read about it.
