Change only the block hyperlinks color

Hello

I making a new theme and need white links in blocks and black links in the news part etc.. I have defined this in the style.css

Code:

.boxcontent {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #FFFFFF; FONT-SIZE: 10px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica}
a.boxcontent:visited{color:#FFFFFF}
a.boxcontent:active{color:#FFFFFF}
a.boxcontent:link{color:#FFFFFF}
a.boxcontent:hover{color:#FFFFFF}

for the blocks and

Code:

a:link,a:active,a:visited,a.postlink{color:#000000;text-decoration:none}
a:hover{color:#000000}

for the rest of the links.
But it won't work, the default link color overrides the white one. Is there anything I have done wrong in the css file? Please help, I have a deadline for this project..

Well, nobody does the job for you said a vise man to me some time.. I found the solution by my self..

here is what you have to add to the style.css file

Code:

div#menu a {text-decoration: underline; color: white; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica}
div#menu a:hover { color: #FFFF00; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica}

and call it by

Code:

<div id="menu">$content</div>

Hope this can be usefull for someone else..

Sorry I didn't see your thread until just now.

Make sure you also add the same defines to the forum.css so the links show up correctly when you are viewing pages that use that css.

Better late than never Laughing

I use the style.css file for the forum also, why make it twice when you can use the same css file for both Very Happy

You can, if you make the link to the style sheets in your script to the one you want to use I would think.
After all, a style sheet is only included.
