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

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.

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.
