wp_get_archives Link Highlight

Hi. I´m making a list menu with archives titles. I would like them to be override when linked. The class works on wp_page_menu but not for wp_get_archives. Any suggestion? Thanks.

<div id="menu">

            	<ul  id="nav">
                <?php echo qtrans_generateLanguageSelectCode('text'); ?>

                  <li style="margin-top:8px"></li>                               

                 <li class="page_item"><?php wp_page_menu( $args ); ?> </li>

                  <li style="margin-top:8px"><strong>WORK</strong></li>                               

                 <li><?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost'); ?></li>

                </ul>

        </div>

#nav .current_page_item a:link, #nav .current_page_item a:visited {
	color: #f00;
}
