Assigning Colors to Buttons for "Already Visited State"

I created a navigation bar in Fireworks with buttons that have an up state,
over state and down state. How do I get the buttons to change color to indicate
"already visited?" I have seen this done with text but can it be done with
buttons? If so, how?

Sure. It requires some more CSS and the pseudo-class :visited.
Here are two examples for CSS-based rollovers:

The same technique can be extended to also use the :visited link state.

Can you apply CSS attributes to a Fireworks image in Dreamweaver (the nav bar buttons)? Or would it be done in Fireworks before the Nav Bar is imported?

There's nothing sacred about FW HTML. In fact, there's quite a bit profane
about it, but that's another story. We don't encourage anyone to use FW to
write HTML.... (ewwwwwww)....
