    i have this css declaration:

    a:active { 
   position: relative; 
   right: -1px; 
   bottom: -1px;
   }
    Code (markup):
    and i want it to apply to ALL links EXCEPT a img UNLESS the link has a class of "image".

    this is because i'm using lightbox, and when the corner [ x ] is clicked on to close, it keeps moving and it won't close so you're stuck in the lightbox. i was thinking of making the [ x ] bigger but that ruins the image. then i tried applying different position declarations on a.image but that didn't work, i was thinking of selecting each link by contextual selectors except a.image but that just bloats my CSS.

    so can this be accomplished with cross-browser compatible CSS or would it be more efficient to use a very short JS script??

    help is much appreciated! :)

    Actually you forgot the comma.


    .image, a:active {your code}

    Uh, no, the comma doesn't belong there. Avik created a substyle to the .image class... placing a comma like hexed did is creating two separate styles.
