Having 2 different hover colors on the same page...

[Stuart Lock]

Hi,

 

I am currently doing a web site that has a hyperlink menu that sits on a very dark background. This means that the links need to be white. When I set the link color in the style sheet using:

 

a:link    {text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff}
a:active  {text-decoration: none; color: #ff0000}
a:visited {text-decoration: none; color: #eeeeee}
a:hover   {text-decoration: none; color: #ffcc00}

 

all the links on the site change to that color scheme. I have tried to include these setting in a class:

 

.mainmenu

    {

    a:link    {text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff}
    a:active  {text-decoration: none; color: #ff0000}
    a:visited {text-decoration: none; color: #eeeeee}
    a:hover   {text-decoration: none; color: #ffcc00}

    }

 

and putting the menu on a div (and span) of it's own:

 

<div class="mainmenu">** menu links here ** </div>

 

but still the style carries throughout the entire site.

 

Does anybody know how to use 2 different link style on the same page?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Stu

Is there a way to define an A style in a class so that I can have more than
one <A> behaviors on the same page?

Have look at http://allmyfaqs.com/faq.pl?Links_with_different_colors

That should give you the info you need.

BTW - small point, and purely for your information - but, since not everyone
can read HTML text in newsgroups, the convention is that one posts in plain
text.
