I am new to HTML coding; trying to get my head around some of the basic stuff.

The page is here www.asiafocus.org.au/footer.htm.

It's a simple footer from a page I'm working on and I'm hoping somebody can help me with it :) .

Why is it that the "color" rule in CSS does not work?

Also, I'm sure somebody will tell me all the mistakes I made and guide me to better code for the footer.

Thanks for your help,

Matsu

the color rule is being applied to any normal text inside the area.
you have linked text, not normal text.
try adding this to your css...

.footer a {color: #607787;}

Oh thanks!

You have been great help,

Cheers,

Matsuka

no problem. good luck!
