I coded a website with styles set up for several different colors of links, and also used the command <P STYLE="margin-left: 70px">. Both work fine in the newest versions of IE and Netscape, but to my dismay do not work in Netscape 4.7.
I know I can always define link color in the <body>, but that only gets me one set of colors. How would I do a second set of colors for links, and what can I use in place of the margin command?

used the command <P STYLE="margin-left: 70px">...do not work in Netscape 4.7.
It works fine for me in NS 4.8, perhaps something else is broken. This simple bit works fine:
<p>This is a normal paragraph
<p style="margin-left: 70px">This is an indented paragraph
How would I do a second set of colors for linksNot any option in NS 4.7 - it does not recognize the pseudo classes for hover, etc. Your only choice would be to settle for classes for anchors to make some of them different. It really isn't worth the effort for a little color for a low percentage of visitors.
and what can I use in place of the margin command?Like I said, there isn't any problem with the margin as presented. You'll have to post a link, or attach a file.<quote><p>This is a normal paragraph
<p style="margin-left: 70px">This is an indented paragraph</quote>
I have it coded as:
<P STYLE="margin-left: 70px">
so unless the capitalization is the problem, I wonder if it is 4.7 vs 4.8.
I have attached that page of code. The Art Director is going to go bonkers if I tell her everything will be in different colors. I'm assuming the only way around that is to make the links in the left hand bar into art, rather than type, which I hate to do...I just checked the page again in 4.7, and the links in the left hand bar are shoved to the left like they are ignoring the margin command, but the body copy in the main table of the page is indenting correctly. Help!
The first margin is set to 70px and the second to 50px. Is it possible that there is just not room in the bar for it to indent, and therefore the command is ignored?

Scratch that thought, made it smaller to no avail.You specified that an anchor is a block. That defeats the <P> tag. So, NS ignores the margin in the <P> in favor of the block in the <A>.Thanks for your quick reply. As I am somewhat new to coding, I don't quite understand your answer. Can you spell it out a little more for me?
