I seem to be having another problem

[primefalcon]

Ok in an external stylesheet I've tried to define the hyperlink colors same as I do in html bodyas follows

body {background-image: url('black');background-attachment: fixed;a:link {color: #FF0000}a:visited {color: #00FF00}a:hover {color: #FF00FF}a:active {color: #0000FF}}

the actual first alink isn't actually working right and I've I've tried using a separate body just for the link selectors but.... cant get it to work. IS what I'm trying to do possible?sorry to be a pain just in the middle of converting one of my websites over to css and most of it is going great

instead of the extra body{} try a{} everything else looks fine.

still not working.i know this style sheet is working and linked properly as all the other things are working just not this hyperlink setting :-S

no need to put the link styles in the body selector. instead try:

body {background-image:url('black'); background-attachment: fixed;}a:link {color: #FF0000}a:visited {color: #00FF00}a:hover {color: #FF00FF}a:active {color: #0000FF}

so the thing itself acts as the selector, thank you..ok that works, but is there anyway to actually do it so you cal select classes with this? or would I have to do that in a separate stylesheet

Are you asking about CSS class for <a>, you can write css classes in the same stylesheet.....CSS:a.classname:link {color: #ff0000}a.classname:active {color: #0000FF}a.classname:visited {color: #00FF00}a.classname:hover {color: #FF00FF}HTML: <a href="someurl" class="classname">Link 1</a>Example:http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_link2

Ok that is exactly what I need to know, thank you very much.and I actually seen that example but I didn't draw the connectionso say doing this would be no problemCSS:a.main:link {color: #ff0000}a.homelink:link {color: #ff0000}HTML:<a href="someurl" class="main">say page 2</a> <a href="someurl" class="homelink">home</a>
