css hover links problem

Hi
I am using CSS on a site, but I am not sure I am using them quite as intended, or I am missing something. I have a style, headline1.
i have:

.headline1 a: link
.headline1 a: hover
.headline1 a: visited

The hover class changes the colour of the link on mouseover, which is fine, but once clicked, when I return to that page, the visited class is acting, and so there is no change on mouseover. If i don't have a visited class, then the default formatting for visited links takes over, ie purple underlined.

I would like to have no visited formatting for links, just the hover class formatting whenever someone visits and revisits the page.

Am I missing something?

HTML isn't a particular forte of mine.

Thanks for any help..

Andrew.

and, the A:link, A:hover and A:visited can only be used with the <a> tags, and not on <h1> tags. However, you can be creative and do this:

Code: 
<html>
<head>

<style>
A.h1:link {font-family: "Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif";color: #Bda94c;}
A.h1:hover {font-family: "Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"; color: #CC0000;}
A.h1:visited {font-family: "Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif";color: #CCCCoo;}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<h1><font size="2"><a class="h1" href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.hotmail.com">This[/URL] is a test</a></font></h1>
</body>
</html>

See if this technique works for you.
