Formatting a web hyperlink

I have a report that contains web hyperlinks. Birt formats these link a normal hyperlink (i.e. blue underlined and purple underlined when visited). I want to remove/override this formatting. I have tried importing styles using the Import CSS style functionality but without sucess. I have read online that it ispossible to alter the default style of web hyperlinks but haven't found a working example. Has anyone done this before? Any help would be appreciated.

You can right click the control that has the hyperlink and create a new style. I have been able to format the font size, color, background, border, etc... I still could not remove the underline with this method however. 
 
To get the most control, you could also use a Text control instead of a data control... Set the formatting of the control to HTML and then try something like this: 
 
" style="text-decoration:none;color:green;font-size:9pt" 
onMouseOver="this.style.color = 'tan'" 
onMouseOut="this.style.color = 'green'"> 
<VALUE-OF>row["POSTALCODE"]</VALUE-OF>

Bookmark the link to modify, drop in a Text element and set to HTML, and use Javascript to modify by using a document.findElementById(). 
 
I suppose you could also modify it by putting in a script in the onRender event for the data element, and setting the this.getStyle() properties.
