I am pretty sure I have done this before... but I do not remember how and can't find the theme I did it too.... but....

I want links in sideblocks to be a different color than the links in the course block...

what is the code to do this in the style sheet...

something like...

.courseboxcontent a:link {
    color:red;
}

except that didn't work.... can I have different link colors and how do I do it?

Thanks for answering this dumb question smile

Hey jeff,
Your code is correct, of course, and yes you can use specific link colors by doing what you've done here. Here is a piece of my code for "categoryname"

.categoryname a:link {
    color: blue;
}
.categoryname a:visited {
    color: orange;
}
.categoryname a:hover{
    color: green;
    text-decoration: none;
}

notice that this is identical to yours and I know mine works therefore...

I know you know what you're doing but are you clearing browser cache to view changes?

Hi Guys,

What about using "WebDeveloper" for FireFox Mozilla.  That should be able to show you what CSS is being used for the links.

Looks like you may have to rename the code in the "Course Links" so they display differently from the other links on the page.  That would involve hacking the "Course" block.  Right??

I use those tools WP they are great.  But, they were not of use here as what I was essentially doing was creating a pseudo class inside the CSS.

But the problem wasn't my coding, it was my local server software which didn't want to read it for some reason.  My regular test server ran it just fine.

Hiya John,

I figured it out with your help.  Like I originally said, I thought I had the code right, but it wasn't working.  After you confirmed the code was right I went back and check this morning.... still wasn't working... on my LOCAL server, but sure enough, when I uploaded to my live test server.... BINGO!!!

Thanks again for your help.

Jeff

There is a class called sideblocklinks. You need to use that instead perhaps.
