My page has two regions, a navigation area and a main body. I want hyperlink formatting to be different in the two regions. Ordinarly the solution would be simple -- just create a special class for the links in the navigation area, then specify that class for all of those links.
The problem is, the hyperlinks in the navigation area are created by an authoring tool and I can't specify a class for them without a great deal of manual work.
I am looking for a way to put the hyperlinks in the navigation area in some kind of container and then specifying formatting for the container so that it cascades down to the hyperlinks inside without affecting hyperlinks in the body.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Of course, I want it for common browsers.If your regions are created by a DIV that has an ID, you can cascade the styles for all links inside that DIV:
#navigation A {font-color: green}
...
<div id="navigation">
<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/...>This link will be green since it is inside the navigation section</a>
</div>Thanks, I new about ID selectors and contextual selectors but it didn't occur to me to combine them together ...
