Doesn't seem possible

Try that in Mozilla or Opera 7.5 - probably not in Opera 7.2.

That worked best in Opera 7.21beta 6 or 10 or something (if someone wants
to know, google opera.beta for my bug charts, that version had bug that
this didn't work for display:table etc.). Has not worked on any release
version of Opera IIRC. I haven't tested since O7.5b2 and not on mozilla
since firbird.

The best I could get for :visited was to apply a DirectX filter in IE.
The style is brought in through a javascript loader only for IE 5.5+.
I was reluctant to use this, for IE, because sometimes the DirectX
filters can be broken. If you rely on them, it could break on you. So
instead of a background color, which if the DX alpha failed to work
would entirely cover the 'link' text, I used a transparent gif. This
gives you the necessary 'hot' area on the visited link. The linkbutton
is, in a non-styled version, a left aligned img inside an anchor
element.

I have no idea what you want to happen
Why is
div:hover a:visited { color: blue }
not good? (exept that it don't work on IE?)
