This is really easy to do but it took me forever to figure out. I wish someone was around to tell me like I about to tell you. Lets say you had a page with a dark colored side and a light colored side but the link style you have is a dark color that makes it really hard to read on the dark side of the page. To solve this you want the links on the light side to be dark colored and the links on the dark side to be light colored. How would you do that? Good question.
(This tutorial was done in Dreamweaver, but the idea of course works anywere. It can be done in notepad or whateva.)
Step 1: Ok. The key to this is that the links have to be created in a certain
order. If they are in the wrong order they wont work. Its has to go:
.whatever a:link
.whatever a:visited
.whatever a:hover
.whatever a:active
Step 2: Add a new css style to your css file. Lets make the light color link first. Name this style .light a:link. Hit ok and define the style. Now repeat this again except name this one .light a:visited. Then again with a:hover and then the last one a:active.
Step 4: Now do the same thing with the dark link style. Once your done with that all you have to do is attach the new light or dark styles to the text you want.
That's it! Of course you can name the first part of the link styles anything you want just as long as you create them in the right order.
