Please help change one link colour

I added this:

.body2 A:link {color: #0000CC; text-decoration: underline overline}
.body2 A:visited {color: #0000CC; text-decoration: underline overline}
.body2 A:active {color: #0000CC; text-decoration: underline overline}
.body2 A:hover {color: #0000CC; text-decoration: underline; color: green;}

to my style.css file.
and used the tags <span class=”body2″> to show that css for the links but its shows no difference.

could someone please tell me what im doing wrong… ??

Anyone? ??

what color is your regular link?

The color of the original link is a blue. But i dont want to change that, i just want to change the colour of one indiviual link.

Thanks,
Dave

*which* link is it? Well, I guess it doesn’t matter, as the site’s not coming up. But I see a few errors in your line of thought.

#1, your stylesheet calls are “A:link” instead of “a:link” – it’s case-sensitive. So if you’re calling in your links with “a”, then it won’t apply the “A” rule.

#2, your stylesheet links structure is out of order. (Yes, it has to be in a certain order to function properly.) Remember the “LoVe HAte” rule: :link, :visited, :hover, :active.

#3, don’t call something in twice, it’s bad form (your hover color is defined twice).

#4, no need for the extra markup. Just apply it directly to your “a” tag – no span necessary. So the stylesheet should be:

a.body2, a.body2:link, a.body2:visited {
color: #0000CC;
text-decoration: underline overline;
}

a.body2 hover {
color:green;
}

a.body2:active {
color: #0000CC;
}

and the markup within the post should be:

<a class="body2" href="URL here">text here</a>

First off, Thank you VERY VERY much for helping me with this. Another thing, what do you mean by my site not showing… It wasnt down today was it?

must have been – I tried to see it at the time I wrote that post, but it wouldn’t come up (about 10 am EST) – server was down.

Also, if you just want to change it for that one link, just do it inline:

<a style="color:green" href="blah.html">Link Text</a>

or

<a href="blah.html"><span style="color:green">Link Text<span></a>

or

<a href="blah.html"><font color="green">Link Text</font></a>

I’m pretty sure one of those will work. (Been a while, but I’ve done it!)
