I haven't used CSS very much and am in the learning stage right now. I have a site that has a white background and I want the links to be a dark color with a green rollover. The nav bar has a darker color background I want the links to be a dark color with a light gray rollover. How do I do this?
To bad you can't view source style sheets.

You can view stylesheets. Just look in the source and put in the path in your browser. If you have something that will read .css extensions, then it will open right up.

Here is a way to do it anyway:

For regular links:
A { text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold }
A:link { color:#}
A:visited { color:#}
A:active { color:#}
A:hover { text-decoration:underline; color:#}

For menu links:
A.menu { text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold }
A.menu:link { color:#}
A.menu:visited { color:#}
A.menu:active { color:#}
A.menu:hover { text-decoration:underline; color:#}

For the menu links, you can use them by putting a class="menu" in the A or TD tag like so:
Nowhere
Nowhere

Gee thanks Mairving! That was way to easy. I see now that you have to use the class thingy.

Guess I am on my way to styling now. I hope to post my new site by next week. Can't wait for you guys to rip it apart.
