Hi, this is the first of many future posts/questions from me...

I am building a website for my husband's business, and the links in the navigation bar are set to be yellow. However in the content area, where the background is white, the links obviously don't show up. Is there a way to set individual links to individual colors?

TIA!

in the css style sheet, you can change the link style to the way you want it, then make a new style called .nav_links and set the a: the way you wnat, then surround all of your links in the <div style="nav_links"></div> tags

You can use something like;

<a href="http://www.yahoo.com"style="color:blue">

in the href part of the code for the link and put the text colour you want. You can also put;

<a href="http://www.yahoo.com"style="text-decoration:none;color:blue">

to remove the underlining from the link. Particularly if you don't know what a CSS is like me

!! i suggest you google it, css is a very important aspect of web design....
it makes it so you dont have to put " style="color:blue" " in every link...
it sets the properties of each tag
for example instead of " style="color:blue" " you could havein your <head></head> tags:

Code:

<style type=text/css>
A:link {
	color: white;
	font-family: verdana;
	text-decoration: none
}
A:hover {
	color: #720000;
	text-decoration: underline overline
}
A:visited {
	color: white;
	font-family: verdana
}
</style>

so that every time you use the <a></a> tag with href="#" it will use the assigned attributes you used in your CSS style sheet. it saves yourslef alot of time when your making a page with many links

Thanks for that information. You are right it makes a lot of sense to do this with even a couple of pages.
