I have a ahover mouse over effect in my css. Through out the side this mouse over effect works. However, in this php script I am using it doesnt even notice where the links are and doesnt even assign them a color or effect. Is it because all the links in this php script are varabiles such as \<a href="{$recent\_row[‘band\_mp3’]}"\>

If so how do I get around this?

Thank you, ideally, I want to use this effect for all my links:

A { border-bottom:dotted 1px #05336F;}

and not to declare classes inside of the script. Is this possible? this line of code seems to be very sensitive

yes you can. See the following example:

```php
   body, td { font-family: arial; font-size: x-small; }
  a { color: #0000BB; text-decoration: none; }
  a:hover { color: #FF0000; text-decoration: underline; }

```
