Rails - Jul 2005 - link_to and CSS

I am a bit confused about how to invoke CSS from within a link_to command.

I have part of it working...  My link_to command looks like this:

<%= link_to "MAIN MENU", { :controller =>
"/main_admin", :action =>
"menu" }, {:class => ''linkCommand''} %>

and the excerpt from my stylesheet looks like this:

.linkCommand {
	font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
	font-weight: 900;
	font-size: 9pt;
	text-decoration: none;
}

This all works fine.  However, I can''t figure out how to add link
styles such as a:link or a:visited to this style and make it work.

I tried, for example
.linkCommand a:hover {
   color: red;
}

And that is not picked up by the view.  Can anyone point me in the
right direction?
Thanks

Try this:

a.linkCommand:hover
{
   color:red;
}

Tomas Jogin
