Links don't change color

[autopost]

Hi
I try to use css to change the color of the links on my web page.
here is my css code
a:link{color:#FFFFFF;text-decoration:none}
a:hover{color:#fdc689;text-decoration:underline}
a:visited{color:#FFFFFF;text-decoration:none}
a.tool:link{color:#000000;text-decoration:none}
a.tool:hover{color:#92278f;text-decoration:underline}
a.tool:visited{color:000000;text-decoration:none}
div.link
{
font-family:verdana;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-size:10pt;
font-weight:bold
}

here is my html code
<td width="100%" class="all" bgcolor="#6666FF"><div class="link">>><A href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"#">INTERNAL
TOOLS</a></div></td>


The problem is the link changes color on my mozila browser but when I test the links on the IE version 6.0, the color doesn't chnage most of the time (i.e. it works only a couple of time)

Is there a way to modify the code so that the links also work on IE too?

Thanks in advance for your helpPut them in the right order : link, visited, hover, active.
