Specifying more than one style for links

Dear,

I'm creating a web site, using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for the first
time. I made a page with a table (td) on the left side, containing links to
the different pages of the site. The contents of the page are in the
right - large - table (another td). I wrote a CSS basically intended to
define the style for the contents (thus for the right part of the page).

I'd like defining another style for the links (both a, a:visited, a:active
and a:hover) in the left table than for the links in the actual contents of
the site. Is this possible and - if this question is responded
affirmatively - how should I do this?

Thank you in advance for any responses and/or referrals!

Hi,

you can give your TDs a classname, like <td class="clsLeftFrame"></td>
and <td class="clsRightFrame">

Then your css for <A> could be

td.clsLeftframe A:hover ......
{
font-family:Arial;
}
td.clsRightFrame A:hover ...
{
text-decoration:none;
font-family:Courier
}

Just from memory, not checked. See wich classes are available for A, other
than hover....

Hope, this helps
and best regards,
Manfred Braun

Oh Dear,

- don't use tables for layout, use divs
- rtfm, there's plenty of good css tutorials around
- you'll probably want to use css class selectors .leftable a { ... }
.contents a { ... } etc. So focus on that while you are browsing the
tutorials.
