change links color

[jenjen1018]

i have changed all of my links to one color, with this code:
a:link {color: #cc99cc}
a:visited {color: #cc99cc}
a:hover {color: #cc00cc}
a:active {color: #ff00ff}

and i want to know if i can change other links on the same page to a darker one. and how do i do that?

[jenjen1018]

also, why won't it work in netscape? my site looks so dull in netscape

It should be ok. It does look ok in Opera and IE, so chances are that it would work the same in Netscape... That is standard CSS so there is absolutely no reason why it would not work ( a:link, a:visited a:hover and also a:hover ). They are the completely supported by all CSS-compliant browsers, including Netscape, of course.

a.somelink:link {color: #cc99cc}
a.somelink:visited {color: #cc99cc}
a.somelink:hover {color: #cc00cc}
a.somelink:active {color: #ff00ff}

a href=# class=somelink

you forgot this this one:-

Code: Select all

a.somelink:focus {color: #ff00ff}

[jenjen1018]

[D3mon]

Probably the effects of browser caching. Make sure you disbale any caching on any browser you are using to develop with.

[jenjen1018]

what does that mean. caching?

[D3mon]

It means the browser stores the old data, instead of going back to the server to get the very latest updated page, hence recent changes to the page don't appear.
