Hi there,

I have a problem with setting the style of the links on my site…basically ive set up the standard _a:link, a:hover_ styles with the font colour being black, so all that works fine. The only thing is, my actual menu is on a black background so all the text links on there are showing up black, so they arent visible…is there a way to overcome this, i tried adding _class=“menulinks”_ in the link tags with

.menulinks { color: #FFFFFF;

in the style sheet, but this doesn’t seem to be doing the trick…if someone could tell me where i’m going wrong that would be great,

Thanks :azn:
