Purple Hyperlinks are Not in My Stylesheet!

Question

Hi, all,
I've inherited a project, and I'm trying to clean it up so
the format and styles match my other projects. I'm using the same
stylesheet for all of my projects, but for some reason, this
project won't obey the hyperlink style in the stylesheet--every
time I create a hyperlink, it colors the font purple.
I've tried re-copying the style sheet in from another project
where it works correctly, and even creating a new style sheet. I've
opened the .css file in Notepad and searched for both the color
name and the numerical code for purple--the only place it's there
is in another style where I
do what purple. I tried deleting that style, on the off
chance it was reading that one in stead of the standard hyperlink
style, but nope.
Given all the above tinkering, I'm fairly sure the problem
isn't actually with the style sheet at all. The project
seems to be doing something globally to
all hyperlinks, no matter what other styles are applied, and
no matter what style sheet I use. Can anyone help me figure this
out?

Radbean:
If your style sheet doesn't specifically have settings for
link and visited (and you don't have any in the topic itself), your
browser will use its own default (which for visited in IE is
purple),
a: settings in the style sheet should follow the LoVHAte
ordering principle:
L(ink)
o
V(isited)
H(over)
A(ctive)
t

Good luck,
