CSS - hover/link

[ayersart]

What is wrong with my css style sheet?

.bodystyle {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
padding: 5px;
link: #CC0000;
hover: #000000;
}

The link and hover don't work. I find that when I change the links they change the links on every area of my page, instead of just the bodystyle. Thanks for any help

thats because link and hover are object stylings not properties of a style class.

.bodystyle{
...
}
.bodystyle a:link{
color:#CC0000;
}

.bodystyle a:hover{
color:#000000;
}
