I have an external styles.css file with:

body (
a:link; text-decoration: none; color: green;
a:visited; text-decoration: none; color: red;
a:hover; text-decoration: none; color: yellow;
a:active; text-decoration: none; color: blue;
}

using funky colors to test my links but this dos not seem to work at all.
What must I put in the body tag within the page's HTML code to make this work??
I'm new with CSS, trying to learn.
Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thank you.

nothing!

the syntax is
a:link {
definitions;
}

Here is a simple example:

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
	<title>Page title</title>
	<style>
		a:link {text-decoration: none; color: green}
		a:visited {text-decoration: none; color: red}
		a:hover {text-decoration: none; color: yellow}
		a:active {text-decoration: none; color: blue}
	</style>
</head>

<body>

...

</body>
</html>
