I Have a blue background for my navagation bar (a table) and white text, gray hover. But on the rest of the page the background is white, so the links don't show up until the hover...I don't know how to get links to hover w/ a tag (like alink="" etc) so I use a style sheet (below)...Is there a tag that I can put in my <TD> to make links hover, or is there a way to use one style sheet for one <TD> and another style sheet for the other?

<Style>
A:visited {text-decoration: none;font-weight:none; color: white}
A:link {text-decoration: none;font-weight:none; color: white}
A:active {text-decoration: none;font-weight:none; color: black}
A:hover {text-decoration: none;font-weight:none; color: gray}
</Style>

Just define dif style elements for in and out of the browser for example the <h1> tag could be fixed for white text on a dark background and the <h2> tag redefined as dark text for a light bg.
Or define your own tags using the class elements...

Could you elaborate on that a bit please? I'd prefer to use to define my own tags using class elements, because I pretty much use the same size font throughout the pages.

What you want to do is separate your links into two different classes. eg. One class will be called "navLink" and the other "otherLink".

INSERT BETWEEN <HEAD></HEAD> TAGS:-

<style type="text/css">
A.navLink { color: #FFFFFF; }
A.navLink:visited { color: #CCCCCC; }
A.navLink:hover { color: #999999; }
A.navLink:active { color: #999999; }
A.otherLink { color: #FF6633; }
A.otherLink:visited { color: #FF9933; }
A.otherLink:hover { color: #FF6600; }
A.otherLink:active { color: #FF6600; }
</style>

USE THESE FOR YOUR NAVIGATION LINKS:-

<a class="navLink" href="URL">NAME</a>

USE THESE FOR ANY OTHER LINKS:-

<a class="otherLink" href="URL">NAME</a>

You may also want to add font-family, font-size & text-decoration attributes to the style tags.
