CSS For Changing Links?

Hey,

When I want to adjust the color of links in a certain Class or ID how is the correct way to do this?

Like this?
#content a:link {
  color: #333;
}

Code (markup):

or

a#content:link {
  color: #333;
}

Code (markup):

Thanks in advance!

 

This one is the correct format for use of ID. If using class you would replace the # with a dot .

 

Could you tell me why it does not seem to be working here please?

HTML

<div id="below-footer">
<p><a href="http://www.bluenotesolutions.com">Web Design</a> by Bluenote Solutions</p>
</div>

Code (markup):

CSS

#below-footer a:link{
    color: #333;
}

Code (markup):

I am trying to adjust it on my Music site but just not playing ball

 

Do you have a style set for the <p>? If so then it may be over riding your settings for "below-footer"

 

Yes I do have a style set for that ID so I have had to simply add class tags to all my links instead.

I assume there is no way of doing it how I wanted then?

Thanks for your help!

 

Yes, I am sure that there is a way to do it, but I dont fully understand what you have here. If the snippet you have shown resides within another div that has a style sheet setting for <p> it may be that this is what is causing it knock to work as expected.

 

#below-footer p a:link{
color: #333;
}

Thats your answer, but it would be a million times better if you showed us the page.

 

Yes, that would work for you

 

Well I have sorted the issue now but if you are still interested in knowing how I got around the problem then here is the link Artist Management

Thanks!
