Okay, please bear with me, I'm a newbie with CSS
I placed:
DIV A {
link,visited { color : #000000;}
hover { color : #EFEFEF;}
}
Inside my style, then
<div>
<tr><td><a href .. </a></td></tr>
</div>
But it made no difference. Am I looking at it the wrong way?

Embedding styles again is not what CSS should be used for. Instead you
use contextual selectors.
For example you define all your settings for links
A {color:#ccc;}
and if you want to change it only for a section of the page, embed the
links in another element
DIV A {color:#999;}
That way all the links in the document will be light grey, but all links
_inside_ DIV tags will be a darker grey.
<p><a href ... /a></p> Will be light grey
<div><a href ... /a></div> will be darker grey
You can even give the div a class or an ID, to distinguish them even
more within the DIVs.
