Now I guess the really dumb question. I have never set a background color for a link. That just seems strange to me. I have the appropriate color set in my div where the link appears.
So it would seem that I now need to define a:link, a:hover, etc for each place where there may be a different background color for each div I may use a link in. That both kind of makes sense, but also would seem to make things far more complex then they need to be. Or is there something I could use when setting up (in this case) my links so that it would know to inherit the appropriate background color?
