CSS visited link not working

I worked out some of the problems with my links from Eric's posting of
10/28/02. Thank you Eric. But I still cannot make the visited links
work.
They should become a green.
This is important as there are so many links on this page.
Here is the page. http://www.sagebrushdesign.com/clie...anns/links.html
If you need to look at the css style sheet give me an address were I
can send it I'm not sure how to bring it up in a browser from the
server.
Thanks,
PixelDog

..subnavigationa:link

should be:
..subnavigation a:link

Note the space before the "a".

Look for similar typos. Also note that if you are using a bunch of null
links, then it's never really going to work very well. Make your links
real ones and for the ones that pop up windows, place a return false on
the onClick event.

Try putting a space before the a in all your link styles:
..anchora:link should be:
..anchor a:link

If you look in the head of your page, there's a tag:
<link href="essmann%20styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
which tells you the address of the style sheet. Its full address is:

http://www.sagebrushdesign.com/clie...nn%20styles.css

Speaking of spaces, there's a space in the name of the stylesheet (the %
20). Some browsers (NN4 particularly) which don't like spaces in
filenames. So you may want to remove the space from the stylesheet name.
