I customized a theme with the colors I wanted for links, active, hovered, and visited. Everything seems to be woring OK except the once a link has been visited, it will no longer show the hover color. Is there anything I can do to make it work - to make visited links respond to the hover?
 
Are you using CSS? If so, the hover color has to come last.

I am using a template, and I cutomized the HTML tags in the theme under text style. Is there a way I can control the "last" from there? If not, is there another built-in way to do that, or would I have to do it via HTML?
 
You have no control over this, as this is controlled by the browser and the user would have to clear
their Cache to reset the link colors.

The proper oder for everything to work is: Link, Visited, Hover, Active...
"LVHA". Use CSS to accomplish this. (Is this not possible using a theme?)

Adela,

When you use a theme, the link colors are controlled by the theme, so in that case you may have no
control, however if you do not use a theme, you should be able to do this using CSS to specify the 4
states of links.

On a page not using a theme where you use the <body> tag to set the 3 states, you can use the
following embedded CSS to set the hover color:

<style>
<!--
a{text-decoration:none}
a:hover {color:#800000}
//-->
</style>

I don't know -- perhaps someelse can answer this question.

I did look at the HTML. Near the top of the page, it has a style section. Link, Visited, and Active are there. I do not know where the Hover comes in, because it is not there, but it does work -- on the Unvisited links only, however.
 
Just edit the style section you have to add a style Hover style between the Visited and Active styles
- note: if using a theme the theme styles will override any style in the HEAD section
