Yes, did that. I still can't see the wretched thing.

Thanks for that too Bert. That's just about what I ended up with, and
it just won't show itself. Agreed, the extra markup is undesirable,
but I was getting annoyed that it wasn't working and was willing to
try anything just to get the thing to show, and THEN decided whether I
wanted to live with it like that.
However, I give up on it. Weird though, I can see it working in IE
here: http://webdesign.maratz.com/lab/visited_links_styling/. I
seriously don't know why it's not working for me .. maybe something
else in the styles is preventing it? <shrug>
Thanks to you all for your input.
I'm 10 pages down, and about 100 to go, on a major redesign from
table-based to .. well, not table-based. I'm sure I have other things
I should be paying more attention to.
