Multiple CSS Classes on 1 Page?

[amyinomaha]

I need to have multiple CSS classes on a page for the links. For instance, the links on the left hand navigation area are set up correctly - with the white. However, I want to have different colors for the email links on the right hand "main" area as white doesn't work because of the background color. How do I do this?

Hi there amyinomaha,

Do your style sheet like this...

a.left:link
a.left:visited
a.left:hover
a.left:active

a.main:link
a.main:visited
a.main:hover
a.main:active

and your anchors like this...

LEFT NAVICATION
<a class="left" href="">

MAIN
<a class="main" href="">

cthead

p.s. you may find w3schools instructive

Looks like the "mailto:" is defaulting to A.link definition.
You could create another definition to use on the "content" portion of your page:

a.mail {
background-color: transparent;
color: yellow;
}
a:hover.mail {
background-color: transparent;
color: red;
}


<a href="mailto:nporter@interpublic.com" class="mail">Ned Porter</a>

The background-color will allow the blue of your "content" to show through; I would select text colors that make more sense than shown .
