Styling Links - Multiple Styles

You may want different kinds of links to have different styles. There are a couple of ways to do this.

Classes

Just like most elements a tags can have classes applied to them

<a class="special" href="index.htm">
A special link home</a>

You can then create style for "special" classes like so...

a.special:link {
     color:blue;
}

This is a good solution if you have a small site with just one or 2 exceptions to the rule.

Descendant Selectors (aka Contextual Selectors)
