CSS and creating a txt link which changes colour

Hi,

Ok I've created a style sheet called "bluelink" this works fine and the choosen txt changes colour. My problem is when the link is unactive it have no style sheet so therefore it is brillant blue and underlined. How do I controll this style? Here's the code below. Many Thanks


<tr>
<td height="62" class="bodytext">
<div align="center">If you cannot see the animation you need to download
macromedia flash player <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" class="bluelink">click
here</a> to go to download.</div></td>
</tr>

Have a look at the CSS specs:

5.11.2 The link pseudo-classes: :link and :visited
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html#link-pseudo-classes

5.11.3 The dynamic pseudo-classes: :hover, :active, and :focus
