Hi  
Can anybody offer advice?..

My CSS is as follows:  
#menu {  
width:175px;  
height:260px;  
background-color:#000;  
margin-left:12.5px;  
margin-right:12.5px;  
margin-bottom:25px;

}

#menuitemscontainer {  
width:175px;  
height:210px;  
background-color:#000;  
}

#menuitems {  
width:155px;  
height:25px;  
text-align:right;  
color:#FFF;  
font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif, Arial;  
font-size:15px;  
padding-right:20px;  
padding-top:10px;  
text-decoration:none;  
}

and my HTML :

\<div id=“menu”\>

\<div id=“menuitemscontainer”\>

\<div id=“menuitems”\>\<a href="aboutmalawi.html"About Malawi\>About Malawi\</a\>\</div\>

\<div id=“menuitems”\>Useful Info\</div\>  
\<div id=“menuitems”\>Accommodation\</div\>  
\<div id=“menuitems”\>Transport\</div\>  
\<div id=“menuitems”\>See & Do\</div\>  
\<div id=“menuitems”\>Regions\</div\>

\</div\>  
\</div\>

My question is, how can i stop links, that are within a div, adopting default link properties (blue, underlined). I want them to retain the style of the div that they are within.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!
