What you need to do here is make your CSS more specific. You can do this by making a couple of new classes for each of these links.
Something like: a .darkLink {color:some dark color;} a .lightLink {color:some light color;} Then in your HTML code: <a href="someplace.htm" class="darkLink">dark link</a> <a href="some_other_place.htm" class="lightLink">light link</a> This could be made more specific if all your dark links appear in one div and vice versa. Then your css could read: div#lightArea a .darkLink {color:some dark color;} div#darkArea a .lightLink {color:some light color;} Hope that helps, Joe Shirley Harshenin wrote: > Hi! > > I am working on a page that has both light and dark backgrounds therefore > need two different colors for links (dark color link for light bg, light > color link for dark bg).
