You know how you can add style="color: #FFFFFF" in your links, well that changes it for link, active, visited and hover, can you specify each of them without putting it in the <style> up in the header?
Thanks

I had this problem, too. You should search the forum first, but to specify individual links, you have to put it in the top code, with a marker linking down to the link at the bottom.

You put this code, with your colors and decorations in the style tags, as you normally do for links.

a.part1:link
{ text-decoration: none; color:#ff6699}
a.part1:visited
{ text-decoration: none; color:#00ff00}
a.part1:active
{ text-decoration: none; color:#cc99ff}
a.part1:hover
{ text-decoration: none; color:#cc99ff}
a.part2:link{text-decoration: none; color:#ff3333}
a.part2:visited{text-decoration: none; color:#ffffcc}
a.part2:active{text-decoration: none; color:#00ff99}
a.part2:hover{text-decoration: none; color:#00ff99}

Then, for your first link which you want to have the characteristics of the "part1" you add class="part1" to your <a> tag. For the links you want to be like part2, add class="part2". You can add as many of these parts as you want, just make sure you've specified what you want.

So....
<a href="lala.html" class="part1">loo dee doo </a>
<a href="lada.html" class="part2">moo mee moo </a>

Those two links will have different hover colors and everything.

If I wasn't clear, just tell me... but search the forum, there's lots on this subject.

you can put them in a seperate css page if you like instead of the header. you then have to put a link to the css page in your header section.

can you explain the problem further if you cannot put the coding in the header section?

well, you could always put <a href="page.html" style="color:#000000; text-decoration:none;"> and that would make the link look black with no underline.

How do you put a link to the CSS in the header?

Loren - check out the CSS page, it's on there ;)

Thanks, I guess I should have looked first. :)

Yeah, that works, but fruitcake wanted the hover on the links, and I know of no way to do that other than to specify it in the stylesheet.

Hey, also... I know you put quotes like surrounding some things, but are the quotes in that tag right? cause you have one in front of page.html, but shouldn't you have one after, too? Hmm... I'm not really sure, I only do what I'm told. :)

So I changed the link colour, but then it doesn't stand out like a link anymore. But if it changes on the hover, then it'll look more like a link.

There should be a quote before AND after "page.html" probably just a typo, but the kind of typo that'll screw up your page! :o

Oh, wow... just now I noticed how fruitcake specified that the tags had to be out of the header... that took a while! :)
