I have a datagrid that has several sortable columns. So the headers become
hyperlinks. I need to be able to assign a css class to just these
hyperlinks? how can I do that? For example, right now I can just assign css
styles to the A tag which does control them but that also controls ALL the
other links on the page, which I don't want.

is there a way? (other than assigning other classes to all the *other*
hyperlinks on the page ... which *is* my plan B)

any input is appreciated. Thanks.

Set the CssClass property, and use a class (let's call it "header") like
this:

..header { color:blue; } // style of header itself goes here
..header A { color:red; etc; etc; } // style of link goes here

you just made my day Jos! I thought it was something that would wind up
being handled completely within css and not an aspnet thing. I read a book
on CSS some time ago but I just couldn't remember that syntax. (i don't use
it often only because programming/webdesign is not actually my job... more a
hobby) I need to review that book man. Thank you!
