Hello all:

I have a div called #maincontent and I also have #maincontent p set up like so:

```auto
#maincontent p{
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
color:#7a7674;
margin:5px 30px 0px 40px;
}

```

My question is, if I want to style links in the #maincontent p, what is the syntax? I’ve tried:

#maincontent p:link  
#maincontent:link p

and other combinations, but I can’t get it to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
