css hyperlink help

i have a table that has 96 hyperlinks in it, how can i set the hyperlink properties of the whole table so that i dont need to write
<a class="mystyle" in front of all 96 hyperlinks?

 

table a:link {
style info here: like this;
}

 

thanks mate, it must be early as that went right over me.
so i have to write all of this in there? on the page?

table a:link {color: #000080}
a:visited {color: #000080}
a:hover {color: #C0C0C0}
a:active {color: #000080
}

 

here's an example...i just cant figure where to insert the code you said

<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 3px solid #000080;" width="750" id="tablez5">

You could remove the class="aa" for the links saving bandwidth and loading times.

Instead u could use:

#tablez5 a:link, #tablez5 a:visited, #tablez5 a:active {
color: #000080
}

#tablez5 a:hover {
color: #C0C0C0
}

 

Put this in the head of the page,

<link rel="stylesheet" href="Location of style sheet" type="text/css" title="default" />

In the .css file, place this

table a:link {color: #000080}
table a:visited {color: #000080}
table a:hover {color: #C0C0C0}
table a:active {color: #000080}

That should do it...

If not, try this
td a:link {color: #000080}
td a:visited {color: #000080}
td a:hover {color: #C0C0C0}
td a:active {color: #000080}

or this
tr a:link {color: #000080}
tr a:visited {color: #000080}
tr a:hover {color: #C0C0C0}
tr a:active {color: #000080}

I think one of them should work

 

ok...i will have a play..thanks Guys...its just that in 2 hours cant find any examples on the web
i even went to this w3 tutorial page......http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
and viewed the source to see how they set the properties on their hyperlinks...

and they have <a class="left" EVERYWHERE...
huh...some tutorial that is...even w3 waste bandwidth.!!

 

all done, thanx guys,

used XML's, worked fine

i have quite a lot of stuff on my CSS as there are a lot of styles on my pages,
it is now 4.7Kb

do i assume that i shouldn't go any more?
whats defined as a 'big Kb' stylesheet?

 

4.7Kb isn't that bad really.

I pass my CSS files thru the PHP interpreter to compress by putting:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .css

Code (markup):

In my .htaccess file, then in my CSS file I put:

<?php
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
header('Content-Type: text/css');
?>body {
	margin: 0 0 15px 0;
	padding: 0;
	background-color: white;
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
	cursor: default;
	font-size: 13px
}

PHP:

This gzips the CSS file contents.

Check http://www.feedsfarm.com/s.css

Comes up as 1.27 KB for me, in reality the file is 5.35 KB.

 

<<I pass my CSS files thru the PHP interpreter>>
ROTFLMAO !!..yeh.. and in my wildest dreams,
i have trouble doing hyperlinks in a table!

Well when i need it rebuilt again, you can give me a quote...
Manchester's not so far, so expect a knock!

nice one xml

In CSS # denotes an ID, not a class. Since the original source uses classes, not IDs:

<td class="tablez5" width="250">

Code (markup):

the style should be written like this:

.tablez5 a:link, .tablez5 a:visited, .tablez5 a:active {color: #000080}

Code (markup):

J.D.

 

<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 3px solid #000080;" width="750" [b]id="tablez5"[/b]>

Code (markup):

tablez5 is the item ID

 

You are right. My bad. What threw me off is that the same name is used for the class name
