Hey everyone,  
I am slowly trying to get all the text formatting on the site linked to a style sheet. I do have one major question that has been bugging. It has to do with hyperlinks.

Seems like creating a CSS style for the hyperlink causes all hyperlinks to have the same properties. Applying any CSS style to a hyperlink doesn’t seem to work either.

Here is a URL:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/temp/css.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/temp/css.htm)

Is there any CSS-based solution besides having to manually specify the font style and size for the supporting hyperlink?

EDIT: In the official version, the styles will be in a stylesheet file 🙂

Cheers!
