active link color change

**wulf** · Feb 9, 2008 00:06

Does anyone know how to change the active link and rollover link of specific text in a document. Not for the entire text with a:active but just for a single link.

if you are saying for one specific link, then give that link a class:

Code:

<a href="#" class="coollink">Link</a>

and to style it with css:

Code:

a.coollink:hover
{
color: red;
}

a.coollink:active
{
color: blue;
}

Hope that helps

Do you mean something like this?

Code HTML4Strict:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="generator" content="PSPad editor, www.pspad.com">
<style type="text/css">
a{color:black}
span{color:red}
a:hover,a:hover span{color:green}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p><a href="#">A green link with <span>red colored</span> text</a></p>
</body>
</html>

Are you talking about :active or :hover here?

**wulf** · Feb 10, 2008 00:13

i'm talking about all... active hover regular link colour whatever.

I already have the hover and link colour set for regular text but I want the link, hover, and active colour for my banner text to be different.

Dan I like your avatar by the way

thx... I was putting the class in the <font> tag instead of the <a> tag.

Uhm, why are you using a <font> tag?
