HTML style help?

Edited on Fri May-13-05 06:18 PM by Eric J in MN

I can change the style of links throughout a page with this:

<HEAD>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">

</STYLE>
</HEAD>

But what if I only wanted to use that style for links in one section of a page?

How could I do that with inline style?

1. Not sure the exact html for it

But you would need to give the style an ID I think and put a <span class="whatever"> tag around the section you want it to appy to.

I'll look into it shortly for you.

2. Actually, I'm not too sure how you'd do that

Though I am now very intent on finding out, haha.

5. Figured it out

All you have to do is define a class for each one.

Example
<style type="text/css">

</style>

Then define each section with <span class="uno"> or <span class="dos">

That's one way to do it.

12. I'm not really sure

I think with a div you can define the size and position of the section. Don't know if you can to that with a span.

4. If it's on a different section of the page

Edited on Fri May-13-05 06:43 PM by Project_Willow

for different menus in other places on the page, style within that div, ul, li.

#navlist {}
#navlist ul {}
#navlist ul li {}
#navlist ul li a:{}

try this page for help, an excellent source of tips for styling links:
