CSS same URL links on web pages

Hi,

I'm trying to get a list of url links to show on each of my web pages.
In my .css page I have created this: div.leftcolboxlink {
<a href="www.google.com">Google</a>;
}

On the respective css web page I reference the .css page with this line:
<div class="leftcolboxlink"></div>

I have no link showing on the design of my page.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Greg

 

You can't do that with CSS. You can try with Javascript.

 

This doesn't make sense to me. Is it because the CSS syntax will not express it, or something else. I understand that the anchor tag I used in html might not work. I can write the .css expression to cascade pictures and text to various web pages, but not hypertext links...I don't get it.

Thanks for your info...

 

CSS is used to describe how HTML elements should be formatted (color, size...). You're trying to add elements with CSS. You can't do that.

 

Thanks again for responding. I see what you mean.
On further investigation I found that SSI and PHP will allow me to do what I want with CSS.

 

PHP:

links.php:

<a href="">....</a><br />
<a href="">....</a><br />
<a href="">....</a><br />
<a href="">....</a><br />


In all other pages:

<?php include "links.php"; ?>
