CSS - Defining Link Attributes With Inline Styles?

Can you have both inline styles AND a linked style sheet? would this cause confusion?

how do you define the the color of a hyperlink before it has been clicked and after it has been clicked?

Thanks.

I am trying to create different link attributes for different areas on the same page. For example, I have a banner area that is a dark color and the links need to be a lighter color for contrast, but on the main body of the page the background is white, so I want the links to be darker colors. I also want the hover colors to be different on the different types of links. I have tried using different classes of links, but they all seem to default to one or the other. Any suggestions?

CSS dummy reporting in here. This does what i need it to, but how could i make it better...and please point me to a good tutorial on not only using DIV tags with ID and classes, but referencing

Code:

/* links for navAlpha menu */	
#navAlpha a {
	color:#09c;
	font-size:13px;
	font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-weight:600;
	text-decoration:none;
	
}
#navAlpha A:link {
	COLOR: white; 
}
#navAlpha A:active {
	COLOR: white; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
#navAlpha A:visited {
	COLOR: white; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
#navAlpha A:hover {
	COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline
}

/* links for navAlpha menu */		
#navBeta a {
	color:#09c;
	font-size:13px;
	font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-weight:600;
	text-decoration:none;
	
}
#navBeta A:link {
	COLOR: white; 
}
#navBeta A:active {
	COLOR: white; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
#navBeta A:visited {
	COLOR: white; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
#navBeta A:hover {
	COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline
}

PROBLEM: I create a nice button using the sliding doors technique for rounded corners. But the button displays with 100% width unless I float it. My layout requires that the buttons be inline with the text, so floating won't work. Anyone know an alternative?

I wouldn't mind floating but I want the button to show inline with the text. When I use float:left, it removes it from the inline flow.

Basically, I want a very modular button that can be used in several different places on a page. In many cases, floating is fine because the mockup has it out of the inline text, but I want to use it there, too.

Here's the HTML:

<a class="button" href="#"><span>Update Profile</span></a>

Here's the css:

a.button:link, a.button:visited {
background:url(button_right.gif) no-repeat right top;
}
a.button span:hover, a.button span:active {
background:url(button_left_hover.gif) no-repeat right top;
}
a.button span {
background:url(button_left.gif) no-repeat left top;
color:#fff;
cursorointer;
display:block;
height:20px;
line-height:20px;
margin:0 2px 0 0;
padding:0 10px;
position:relative;
white-space:nowrap;
}

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

Is is possible to have different link attributes on different sections of a page?

For example:

I'd like to have all links on the menu section be white font, visited be black font, hover to be green font and active to be yellow font

On the rest of the page, I'd like all links to be green font, visited to be blue font, hover to be yellow font, and active to be whtie font.

here is my css:

Code:

@charset "iso-8859-1";
body {
text-align:center;
margin-top: 10px;
background-color: green;
/*background-color: #d8d8d8;*/
}

#frame {
width: 640px;
text-align: center;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
background-color: white;
}

#header {
width: 640px;
height: 100px;
background-color: blue;
}

#menu {
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
float: left;
width: 100px;
text-align: left;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: medium;
background-color: #FD9800;
font-size: 16px;
border: medium solid #E0E0E0;
padding: 4px;
}

#menu a.nav {
width:92px;
/*How can I have different colored links in this section v.s. the rest of the page?*/
}

a:visited {
color:#FFFF00;
font-size: 12px;
}
a:hover {
color:#FFFFFF;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 12px;
}
a {
color:green;
font-size: 12px;
}

Hi, I am having trouble setting up different link styles in my site.

My code is:

Code:

.menu {
	font-family: Helvetica;
	font-size: 18px;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	
}

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

a.menu:visited {
	color : #FFFFFF;
	text-decoration : none;
}

a.menu:hover {
	color : #FFFFFF;
	text-decoration : underline;
}




a:link {
	color : #FFFFFF;
	text-decoration : underline;
}

a:visited {
	color : #FFFFFF;
	text-decoration : underline;
}

a:hover {
	color : #FFFFFF;
	font-weight : bold;
	text-decoration : underline;
}

From what I've read this should setup a default style for all links to follow, as well as define an alternate link style for anything in the menu class.

So when I use the following code:

<div class="menu"><I>01</I> &nbsp; <a href="">HOME</a></div>

.. I would have thought the link would follow the style for .menu

But it doesn't. It takes the style of the default links as well.

How do I properly setup an alternate link style??

Newbie question...I've always struggled with getting my links to show up right (hover styles, visited styles, etc.)

In this case, I want my links to show up without an underline normally, but with an underline when hovered over. When they're visited, I don't want there to be any difference. I want them to show up normally.

Right now I've got

Code:

.leftnavtext A:link {
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 10px;
	color: #666666;
	text-decoration: none;
}
.leftnavtext A:hover {
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 10px;
	color: #666666;
	text-decoration: underline;
}
.leftnavtext A:visited {
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 10px;
	color: #666666;
	text-decoration: none;
}
.leftnavtext {
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 10px;
	color: #666666;
}

And when I hover over a visited link, it doesn't get underlined. Any idea why? Thanks.

Hi there,

Is it possible to have the same name for a link style to a text style?

For example:

a.small:link{....

and

.small{...

Many thanks!

My link hover style isn't happening consistently in either browser. It seems to work better in FF than in IE7. Does anyone have a clue as to what I could look at to see what is causing this?

All my navbar links behave just fine...

URL removed

Thanks!

Does anyone know if there is a css property that applies to links that are linked to anchored tags on the page?

Can there be a selector just for links that go to an anchor tag?
I don't want to use a seperate class for only those links.

thanks

I have 2 content areas. One with id sidebar2 and another with id maincontent.

I want the links in these separate content areas to have different hover colors and possibly other characteristics.

My problem is, the styles for sidebar2 are being overwritten by the styles in maincontent as it is below it in the style sheet (cascade).

The hover of the words "Good Game" in this example is green which clashes with the background of the sidebars content. It should be a blue color.

Why does a completely separate id overwrite the styling in a previous id? How can I improve this code to get the desired results.

Line numbers eg (line 140) are just referencing where the code appears within the stylesheet and are not actually in the css sheet.

HTML example:

<div id="sidebar2">
<h1>Daily Content</h1>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="(URL)">Good Game</a>
</li></ul>
</div>


#sidebar2 li a:link, li a:visited (line 140)

{

text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #336699;

}

#sidebar2 li a:active, li a:hover (line 148)

{

text-decoration: none;
color: #2986aa;
text-indent: 5px;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;

}

#mainContent a:link, li a:visited (line 157)

{

text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #003366;

}

#mainContent li a:active, li a:hover (line 166)

{

text-decoration: none;

color: #99cc66;
text-indent: 5px;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;

}

Hi all. I am in the process of re-coding some beautiful email templates that were pure CSS layouts into nasty HTML nested tables so our clients can still see our newsletter when viewing them in Web based email browsers like Yahoo, GMail, etc. (since these often strip out our CSS sections)

Typically we would define our link styles in CSS using something like: PHP Code:
 a, a:link, a:visited {
        color: #BF28B2;
        text-decoration: none;
        font-weight: bold;
} 



I just realized I am not sure how to represent the same style when using inline styles such as <span style='...'>text</span>. Just what can I do to modify the link styles using inline styles?

Thanks

Hi there,

If i have a css class called td.header_menul how do i change the link colour for this class?

I know how to change normal link colours but how do i change them to that specific one?

Thanks!

hi guys,

I'm sure this is an easy fix but it's driving my little non-technical mind nuts...

I have an external style sheet for a site, and it appears to be linked correctly as altering it does affect the text in my site.

HOWEVER, the elements I've included to keep web links displaying as normal text aren't working (visited, hover, active, etc etc)

Please help.

Code below.

.main {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
link {text-decoration: none;
visited {text-decoration: none;
hover {text-decoration: none;
active {text-decoration: none;
}
