I have a style sheet which has the following line.

A:link, A:visited, A:active { text-decoration: none }

However one one page I am using a menu of links. This causes my font
class to be over ridden with blue text the default used for links.
I don't want to change the stylesheet here.
I need to change the line in the webpage to stop the link from changing my font
blue. The line is.

<tr><td class="Menu"><a href="Recipe4.html">Potatoes & Cauliflower in a spicy
sauce</A></td></tr>

I can only show a piece of my webpage as I do not have access to a server to
display it. I hope
this is sufficient.

Remove it. Using
:hover { text-decoration: none; }
might make sense, since when the cursor is moved over a link, the
underline has probably done its job and can be temporarily removed to
improve legibility a little.

I cannot decipher what you are talking about. The Subject says "Text
decoration". _Are_ you talking about it, or something else?

No you don't.

It should probably be <ul> (or, if you prefer, <menu> ), but otherwise
it's fine. Well, it would be safer to entify "&" as "&amp;". A nice link.
Why prevent it from looking like a link?

Then get some access. You'll need it anyway.

It isn't.

I know exactly what you're talking about, took a little while to figure it
out, but:

Try this:

..Menu A:link {text-decoration: none;}
..Menu A:active {text-decoration: none;}
..Menu A:visited {text-decoration: none;}
..Menu A:hover {text-decoration: none;}

wherever you stick your CSS.

I assume you've ensured each link is otherwise clearly identifiable as a
link, without hovering or color cues? How will I know where to click, or
even if to click?

As underlining *means* link to most users, the above type of styling
should only be done with extreme caution, if at all.

Sorry if i was not clear here.

If i have a link to a webpage. I will be using an anchor
<a> this is held within a <td> tag. The Tag has a class
<td Class="Myfont">

Within the <td> </td> I don't want the <a></a>
to change my font class which is Red to blue because it
it is an <a></a>

what i mean is

<tr><td class="Menu"

/* this font is grey and must be grey and not turned into blue because it has
<a></a>
following it */


><a href="Recipe4.html">Potatoes & Cauliflower in a spicy sauce</A></td></tr>

this will not work

I know exactly what you're talking about, took a little while to figure it
out, but:

Try this:

..Menu A:link {text-decoration: none;}
..Menu A:active {text-decoration: none;}
..Menu A:visited {text-decoration: none;}
..Menu A:hover {text-decoration: none;}

Because this affects all pages used on the website. If I
want someone to contact me I wan't my e-mail address to be
blue. Therefore this has to be a change for one web page only.

Easy. Set the no-link style for .Menu, then set the link style if
necessary for the anchor.

..Menu {color: #777;}

Then, later, if you like:

..Menu a:link {color: blue;}
..Menu a:visited {color: purple}

But this will default to link colors anyhow, unless you changed it.

Only anchors within an element classed as "Menu" will be affected. Simply
don't class, or class differently, any anchors not to be styled like this.

can I not have on one unique webpage something like the following

<td class="Menu">
<a href="Recipe4.html" KEEP MY FONT CLASS="class="menu" font colour grey">

Potatoes & Cauliflower in a spicy sauce
</A>
</td>

Desmond, either you have replied to yourself, or your posts are not
threading properly. Please quote for context!

If it's for one and only one page, and no other page will ever use it, you
could do it in the style element in the head. Or, link to or import a
different or additional stylesheet. Or, choose a unique style name and put
it in the stylesheet, which I find simplest.
