CSS pseudo class question

Dear readers,

Can I have a class selector the pseudoclasses like:

.menuw { general_stuff_for_this_class; }

a.menuw:link { special_for_link;}
a.menuw:visited {special_for_visited; }
a.menuw:hover { special_for_hover; }
a.menuw:active { special_for_active; }

Tia, Jean.

Sure, but if the missing HTML looks like this:

<a href="foobar.htm" class="menuw">foobar</a>

Then the a.menuw:link rule is more specific than the .menuw rule,
therefore the .menuw rule is superfluous.
