a:link - The :link selector is used to select unvisited links. The :link selector does not style links you have already visited. a:visited - The :visited selector is used to select visited links. a:hover - The :hover selector is used to select elements when you mouse over them. The :hover selector can be used on all elements, not only on links. like you can this on image, div, td etc a:active - The :active selector is used to select and style the active link. A link becomes active when you click on it.
