I *just* got an answer to this question: http://www.experts-exchang
<style type="text/css">
a:link {color: white; text-decoration: none}
a:visited {color: white; text-decoration: none}
a:hover {color: rgb(192,7,15); background-color: white; text-decoration: none}
To temporarily override this for one link Roonaan suggested (for example):
a:vClass:link {color: blue; text-decoration: underline}
a:vClass:visited {color: purple; text-decoration: underline}
a:vClass:hover {color: blue; font-style: italic; background-color: rgb(208,215,224); font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;}
and that I use: <a class=vClass href=...>
This approach worked great, case closed. Or so I thought. I've put these exact lines into another page and now ALL the links on the page default to this vClass, regardless of whether I specify class=vClass. I've tried giving the first set of styles a classname:
a:Menu:link {color: white; text-decoration: none}
a:Menu:visited {color: white; text-decoration: none}
a:Menu:hover {color: rgb(192,7,15); background-color: white; text-decoration: none}
and specifying that class in what were my default-style href's, but no luck. It ALWAYS uses the vClass styles no matter what I do. What's up with this? I can't even tell what this difference is between the form that works and the form that doesn't because the one is a clone of the other with just some text content changed (i.e. same tables, same placement of graphics, etc.)
Here is the one that works: http://www.novatec-inc.com
Here is the one that doesnt: http://www.novatec-inc.com
HELP! I gotta get this done ASAP

Your problem lies in the declaration of the class name (just a small typo)
Yes:
a.vClass:hover { .... }
No:
a:vClass:hover { .... }
Only difference is that the '.' is the class deisignator for a given tag, not the ':'
Hope that helps you out.
