Link Light Up

Ok so i was working on my site and realized that i didnt know how to get links to change color on mouse over, can someone please tell me how to do that? Also i really dont understand javascript so if it is involved, cause im not really sure if it is or not, please explain it to the best of your ability thankyou

it's stylesheets:

<style>

a:hover {color: #ff0000;font-family: verdana;}
a:link {color: #000000;font-family: verdana;}
a:visited {color: #00ff99;font-family: verdana;}
a:active {color: #00aa22;font-family: verdana;}

</style>

just play around with the Hex values until you get the color you want.

ive tried that before but for some reason it doesnt work i guess i will try it again... also i have most of my links in a css style already how do i apply that style to stuff already in a css style?

Given: style is called "STYLE"
Then: a:STYLE:hover {values} should do the trick.

also how do i reference the style when is has no assigned name?

woah woah woah, you just lost me there :eek: how could you make a style without first specifying the name for it?

im sorry !mo0chan! could you explain that a little more

u need to put that head

say your style sheet resembles:

<style>

.style {color: #00aa22;font-family: verdana;}

</style>

you mentioned that you already had styles set already and you wanted to add the mouseover color-change effect on the text correct?

say, if you had something like

<td class="STYLE">
<a href="url.html">TEXT</a>
</td>

and you wish to apply the mouseover effect on TEXT only you would add the name of the style (STYLE) into the a:hover tag. such as:

<style>

.style {color: #00aa22;font-family: verdana;}
a:style:hover {color: #ff0000;font-family: verdana;}

</style>

This way, only the text affected by the STYLE class would have the mouseover effect, while all the other text would not.

oh well what i did mo was i put that style you gave me in the head but i figured it out i put a.myname:hover to do it so im fine now i just need to know how to get the text in my current css style to use that style?
