why has the mouseover suddenly stopped working nw?

nope still not going i have a.red:link{ color:yellow;} a.red:hover{color:red;} a.red:visited{color:green;} a.red:active{color:blue;} and the HTML <a class="red" href="">shane</a> uploaded at http://www.shaneprendergast.co.uk/folder/practice.html now i have the green but no mouseover effect, its absolutely doing my nut in

what change a.red:link{ color:yellow;} to a.red{ color:yellow;} nope that dont work i have figured it out now on my site but ive no idea what i was doing wrong, just looking at why this is not working now i am baffled?

i am trying a simple mouseover with a css classes on my a hrefs but cannot get it to work??? Here is just a simplified one but i still cant get this going. my html is <a class="red" src="">shane</a> and CSS a.red:link{ color:yellow;} a.red:hover{color:red} a.red:visited{color:#F00} a.red:active{color:#C96} the link is staying black??? but the hover is working. why is the color yellow now showing? i have posted this simple site at http://www.shaneprendergast.co.uk/folder/practice.html cheers shane
