CSS Multiple Links Help Please

[kregg]

Hello,

I have tried several ways and classes and such to have different link styles
(colors, etc.) on one page and I want to use an external style sheet so it is
all in one place, but I can't seem to pull it off for some reason.

I have attached the code I set up in the external style sheet, but now when I
try to refer the "menu" links, I can't seem to get them to work. Can anyone
tell me how to reference them so that they show up?

I highlight the links I want and then choose "menu" under CSS style in
Dreamweaver, but it doesn't work.

Thanks very much.



CODE ON STYLE SHEET

a:link {
color: #330000;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;

}
a:visited {
color: #A14517;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;

}
a:hover {
color: #89935B;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;

}


a.menu:link {
color: #CC0000;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;

}
a.menu:visited {
color: #660000;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;

}
a.menu:hover {
color: #33FF00;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;

}


CODE ON HTML PAGE TO CHOOSE MENU

<a href="exhibitors.html" class="menu">Exhibitors</a>

Your code is correct and adequate for what you are trying to accomplish. It
will work.

Hi Murray,

Thanks for responding. It did end up working. What doesn't work is if you
choose all the links at once and choose "Menu" in Dreamweavers list of CSS drop
down menu. It seems to lay the "class" in the wrong place of the code, so it
doesn't work.

It only works if you code it by hand or highlight one link at a time and
choose "Menu" from the drop down list.

Thanks.

I'd have to see your before and after code to know what happened. But this
is not the way I'd do it anyhow. I'd make my CSS like this -

#menu a { whatever; }
#menu a:hover { whatever }

and my HTML like this -

<div id="menu"><a href="link1.html">Link 1</a>...<a href="link2.html">Link
2</a>...</div>

That way I don't have to apply anything to anything.
