Thanks for the replies -this was much simpler than using a layer. I still found I needed to specifically set a "visitid color" - I actually didn't want a color for this at all but setting it to the default color did the trick.

The only problem I still have is some of my links are on a black background and some are on a white background. I was hoping to be able to have a set of colors for each - but this method only provides 1 set of colors.

Can someone verify if using rollover layers for text is supposed to work? I have 3 text links I would like to have darker rollover colors for that need to be different than the default interface.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
