Hello:
I'm having trouble doing this and I was hoping someone could help me. I
created a site in dreamweaver and made a template out of it. I set the
default colors for the links in the the page settings. I need to have the
colors of the links change in different sections of the site. Can this be
done.
Thanks
Brian

Different sections = different pages? If yes, then it can be done. You
may want to define them in style-sheet for brevity and continuous
revisions. For instance:

a:link {
text-decoration: none;
color: grey;
}

removes the underline below a link and makes them of grey color. Google
for "CSS link style" without quotes.

If different sections, where the word "section" could refer to many things
at different levels, are _regions_ of the page, e.g. menu and footers, then
use a deeper stylesheet hierarchy. I am pretty convinced you could define

..menu:a:link {
text-decoration: none;
color: grey;
}

I am fairly sure I got the syntax wrong, but I hope it convery the idea. I
also hope it's indeed supported.

It's a very effective method to confuse your visitors to no end, don't.

Not necessarily. If you have a menu with links of one color, you might
want the content links to be another color. If the menu background color
is blue, and the content background color is white, you would not want
the menu color to be blue, but you would probably want the content color
to be blue.

As I read it the OP wants to define different links colours for
different pages of the same site.

Now that it's morning here... you're right, although you might have
different sections of a site different colors, depending on their
purpose, maybe something to do with seasons, where spring has pastel
colors, and fall has fall colors.

I'm doing something a little similar server side, if the current date is a
holiday, a appropriate stylesheet is loaded. I have a main stylesheet
which defines positioning and another only for colors, so Dec 25 gets
xmas.css and Feb 14 gets valentines.css.

A basic usability principle is that a site should have a consistent look
including the colour scheme. Using different link colours and/or text
decoration is particularly risky because it will prevent people from
recognizing the links as links.
