This is a really brief answer, but should get you started on the right track to thinking about the "C" in CSS =)
First, some house work: "id" must be unique, "class" can be reused on any number of elements. Second, the following demonstrates the use of the cascade - "C" - to color the author class: a:hover .author {color:#fff;} Create similar rules begninning with a:hover to apply the styles you want to anything contained within the a element. kind regards, Terrence Wood ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
