A Href Color Editing in HTML

MaxSteele

I can't for the life of me remember to or find out how to edit the color of an a href link.

I've tried doing it under a #container within a CSS file, but doesn't seem to be working. Due to the assignment I'm working on, internal styling within html files is forbidden. So I'm stuck trying to edit them through the CSS file.

I've been searching the Webschools site on Html and CSS but can't seem to find an answer. Any help ?

I think its :

a.link{

styling here

}

Just learning myself actually.

edit

A:link
Defines the style for normal unvisited links.

A:visited
Defines the style for visited links.

A:active
Defines the style for active links.
A link becomes active once you click on it.

A:hover
Defines the style for hovered links.

Nope, just a {color:#rrggbb;}

.link is a class and the :link, :visited etc are pseudo selectors.

OP also use FireBug or some other dev tool to inspect elements for their properties.

Same as this yeah?

a {

color:#rrggbb;

}

because its a href not just href .

Same. Some of us declare on a single line:eek:
Not sure what you're getting at re a href. href isn't a css selector.

That was aimed at OP. I get the impression he was mixing up href with a.

<href instead of <a href

maybe. Im not sure.

I know i was looking at that, but the href is just confusing me.

Here's basically what I'm trying to do at the moment.

HTML file:

<div id="Navigation">

<a href="index.html">Home</a>

CSS file:

#Navigation
{
font-style: #8B0000;
font-family:"Helvetica";
color: #33CC33;}

color won't change though. If I have to do it within the html I will.

Read the w3schools link and a few other of those css pages.

You shouldn't need to do it within html if you get the css right.

#Navigation a
{
font-style: #8B0000;
font-family:"Helvetica";
color: #33CC33;}

is what you want.

or for all links, just:

a
{
font-style: #8B0000;
font-family:"Helvetica";
color: #33CC33;}
