Re: stupid CSS question

This isn't a "stupid" question, just shows you're learning and that's good.=
=20
It wasn't all that long ago I was in your position. Anyway, here's an=20
example of how your do it:

In this example, the class has been named "whatever".. you can name it=20
whatever you wish:

In your HTML:

<a  class=3D"whatever" href=3D"linkurl.com">

In your CSS or in your internal styles:

a.whatever:link {
color: #CC0033;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: normal;
}

a.whatever:active {
color: #FF0000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: normal;
}

a.whatever:visited {
color: #990000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: normal;
}

a.whatever:hover {
color: #FF0000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: normal;
}

You can, of course, adjust the colors or change font style: "italic"  to=20
"font-style: normal" or change your font-weight to "bold"

Good luck!
