This uses a class and not a div to apply the style.
menu active, menu link and menu visited are all the same in this example; each can be seperated and a different color applied.

a.menu:hover {
background-color: #008B8B;
color: #FFFFFF;
}

a.menu:active, a.menu:link, a.menu:visited {
background-color: #A42B02;
color: #FFFFFF;
}

.menu{
border: 1px solid #000000;
cursor: hand;
display: inline;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans;
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: bold;
height: 40px;
padding-bottom: 3px;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 7px;
padding-top: 3px;
text-align: center;
width: 105px:
line-height: 16px;
}
