I have a page set up like a table and some of the cells in the table have a
dark background and some have a white background. I need the links in the
dark background to be a different color. I'm used to setting link color in
the body tag. What's the best way to have different link colors on
different parts of the same page?

Thanks for the help. - Amanda

#box:visited { color:#FFFF99 }
#box:active { color:#FFFF99 }
#box:hover { color:#FFFF99 }
#box:link { color:#FFFF99 }
#box:focus { color:#FFFF99 }

<a id="box" href="/dir">alt.html</a>


That is an example for one style. For other styles use other ids with other
css assignments.

Or you could write decent HTML, using CSS.

I think if you use " <FONT FACE= ... SIZE= ... COLOR=...>" and
then close the font tag, using it again later for another color, you
that should work.

Oh, shoosh with that <font... nonsense.

A.blue:visited {color: #003399;}
A.blue:link {color: #003399;}
A.blue:hover {color: red;}
A.blue:active {color: #003399;}

A.white:visited {color: #ffffff;}
A.white:link {color: #ffffff;}
A.white:hover {color: red;}
A.white:active {color: #ffffff;}

and then -

<a href="blah1.html" class="blue">Blue Link</a>
<a href="blah2.html" class="white">White Link</a>

Preferably specify background-color also.
