IE6 CSS issue

I have the following in a CSS, but it doesn't render as expected:

a:visited:hover
{
color:yellow;
}

Also, I know the order can matter so I've pasted the CSS section below.

If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Site users will have IE6, but
with differing levels of SP and patches.

Thanks
Bill

a:link
{
color: #0033cc;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited
{
color: #0033cc;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited:hover
{
color:yellow;
}
a:hover
{
color:gray;
}
a:active
{
color:red;
}

AFAIK, IE6 does not understand a:visited:hover , just as IE6 does not
understand hover on anything but the a element.

Just as IE has so many other problems.
