Question Why won't the hover thingy work on my links in Chrome?!

As you can tell by the title, my CSS skills are less than stellar

I did search on Google for an answer, but with my very limited CSS knowledge, I might as well have been looking at a different language.
(Yes, I know that I technically WAS looking at a different language)

For this page:
http://www.link-o-rama.com/HD-Video/index.html

I'm using this very basic CSS:
Code:
<style type="text/css">
body {background:#000000; margin:0px 0px; text-align:center; font-family:'Comic Sans MS',sans-serif; color:lime; font-size:21px;}
a:link {color:#00FF00;}
a:visited {color:#00CC00;}
a:hover {color:#00FF00;}
</style>
There is a very subtle difference in the color of an unvisited link & a visited link, but it is a difference none-the-less. It does work in IE, but the link/text color stays the same in Chrome.

Apparently, this is a known problem with Chrome. Everything I looked at was WAY out of my league as far as how to correct it & the few things I tried didn't work

So does anyone know a basic fix for this?

Thanks!

Messed around with the css for a bit and what seems to work for me on my Mac is Safari, Firefox and Chrome is to make the color different in the link and hover tag like this.

Code:
a:LINK {color:#00ff00; text-decoration: none; }
a:visited {color:#00cc00; text-decoration: none; }
a:HOVER { color:green; text-decoration: none; }

Interesting.....I'm finding that if the link & the hover are the same color, it won't work (even using #00FF00 for the link & "lime" for the hover)

BUT......

If I use a different color for each, it works just fine:
Code:
<style type="text/css">
body {background:#000000; margin:0px 0px; text-align:center; font-family:'Comic Sans MS',sans-serif; color:lime; font-size:21px;}
a:link {color:#00FF00;}
a:visited {color:#008000;}
a:hover {color:#00CC00;}
</style>
...and here's the pudding:

Now I just have to fine tune the colors

Thanks!

For anyone that stumbles upon this thread & is looking for a handy table of colors & codes, I found this one:
http://web.njit.edu/~kevin/rgb.txt.html

That page showed me that #00FF00 and #00EE00 are basically the same color to the naked eye
Code:
<style type="text/css">
body {background:#000000; margin:0px 0px; text-align:center; font-family:'Comic Sans MS',sans-serif; color:lime; font-size:21px;}
a:link {color:#00FF00;}
a:visited {color:#00CC00;}
a:hover {color:#00EE00;}
a:active {color:#32CD32;}
</style>
The pudding:

No if IE would just go away we would be in html paradise.
