I needed a link in the tfoot part of a table to be white, while links in the body were black. So I defined a rule for tfoot a:link. That did it in Dreamweaver. But Safari showed the link in default blue. Blue on red is a mess.
Intermediate practitioner that I am, I spent two hours trying to ferret out the solution. Looking in CSS and JS files. Piling code on top of code foolishly. Nope. Then I picked up Craig Grannell's "CSS and HTML Web Design" and found my way to p157. To a graf headed by "The difference between a and a:link". [a applies to all anchors; a:link only to clickable ones] In that paragraph were these words: "However, if you define a:link instead of a, you then must define the visited, hover and active states, otherwise they will be displayed in their default appearances." Bingo! Mr. Grannell is hereby my nomination for Man of the Moment. Do I hear a Second? (There is a sibling award for Woman of the Moment and even a rather amorphous award for Person of the Moment - but I am nominating for Man of the Moment because it alliterates...)
