Need help with CSS please

[SBR]

I'm fairly new to CSS, and am using a CSS pattern that was crated by the
webmster of my site. I have some links on my page, and I want them to look
like normal text, and then underline when active. Currently, they look like
underlined text and don't take any action when the moue is active over them.
Can anyone please look at my code and tell me what line in my css document I
need to change to make all of my normal links perform this action, and what
it should be changed to? I would really appreciate it.

The page with the links on it is at http://www.gottadancesc.com/products.htm
and the js file is listed below, as well as located at
http://www.gottadancesc.com/gd.css (will that link work?)

Thanks SO much for any help!

Like your "webmaster" already did for a couple of classes:
A {
TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
A:hover {
TEXT-DECORATION: underline
}

But the whole CSS is horrible, consider rewirting it

I'm fairly new to CSS, and am using a CSS pattern that was crated by the
webmster of my site. I have some links on my page, and I want them to
look
like normal text, and then underline when active. Currently, they look
like
underlined text and don't take any action when the moue is active over
them.
Can anyone please look at my code and tell me what line in my css
document I
need to change to make all of my normal links perform this action, and
what
it should be changed to? I would really appreciate it.

I'd point out that if you make the links unrecognizable unless the mouse
by chance is over it, you're creating a big usability issue with the site.
Make links look like links.

 

[SBR]

The links are all a different color from the text.

The links are all a different color from the text.

And if the user is colourblind? Using a monochrome monitor?

Links want to be links:
