Hi. I am having trouble with my link colors. I've defined them in Page
Properties, and they show up correctly in Dreamwaver. However, when I preview
in a browser, or view them online, they go back to the default colors. Any
suggestions on how to fix this?

Lets see your page, please.

The links at the bottom of the page are supposed to be red when active, white when visited: www.afewwords.com/goss08

Let's just make sure you understand that the a:active pseudo-class is only
expressed when you click and hold your mouse button down. Many people
interpret it to mean that you will get the a:active state when you visit
that page. Is that what you are wanting?

Your links are governed by these rules in your stylesheet -

a:link {
color: cc0000;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #999999;
}
a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
}
a:active {
text-decoration: none;
}

First of all, your link color is incorrectly specified - all color values
must have a "#" preceding them, so you would want -

a:link {
color:#CC0000;

If you want them to be red when clicked and white when visited, then you
will need to add that to your CSS, e.g.,

a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
a:active {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FF0000;
}
