Hi Gautam, I'm really lost as to exactly what you are trying to do. You mention: <div><p>This is a text and it should be <a href="" style="color:red">red</a></p></div>
I'm guess you what the whole sentence to be red? I don't actually think it's possible, at least as far as I'm aware, to get parents to inherit child styles. Can you provide us with a link to the site so we can understand how your navigation bar works?
