Try removing ":link" from your CSS rule and reduce your selector to simply
#divBox p a
You probably clicked on your link during testing after which :link no
longer applied. As the spec says, "The :link pseudo-class applies
for links that have not yet been visited."
ref:
CSS 2.1 Specification
5 Selectors
5.11.2 The link pseudo-classes: :link and :visited
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#link-pseudo-classes
The rule "#divBox p a" will then apply to ALL links in ALL paragraphs
inside #divBox. If you need to target some links or paragraphs but
not all, you'll need to apply further ids or classes to get as
specific as necessary.
Aside, you'll get much higher quality feedback from technical
listserves such as this if you'll include the actual markup your
styling will apply to -- preferably by linking to an HTML page on a
server somewhere. A test page works fine if you can't link to your
live material.
