Actually, it's a trilogy in four parts. :-) 

    a:link       (links)
    a:visited    (visited)
    a:hover      (pointer is over a link)
    a:active     (browser is activating a link)

Also, when specifying each of these pseudo-classes, it's
a really good idea to do it in the order above; some browsers
get confused if they're in a different sequence.
