a.search-sort-link:link, a.search-sort-link:visited, a.search-sort-link:active
{
    color: #FFF;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a.search-sort-link:hover
{
    color: #000033;
}

it would probably have worked. In your second example you have correctly closed the statement (every CSS statement has to be closed by ";").
