Re: Changing "link" properties using style sheets...

Set up a seperate class for each anchor you want to affect. For example you
could do something like this:

a:link.council { text-decoration: none;
 background-color: none;
color: #FFFF80
 font-size: 12pt;
 font-family: arial;
 font-weight: bold;
      }

a:link.other { text-decoration: none;
 background-color: none;
color: #FFFF80
 font-size: 12pt;
 font-family: arial;
 font-weight: bold;
      }

etc...  Then just use the class name for the link you want to affect :
<.a href="blah" class="council">Blah<./a>
<.a href="foo" class="other">Foo<./a>

HTH,
Lisa
