This code was introduced to me by one of the forum coders.

I have been trying it out to see how it works, but I cannot find out how to alter the picture caption colours. Any help would be appreciated.

The page can also be accessed from here as 'Test page'

Hi effpeetee. :)

If you just want to change the text color, see the code in bold below:

.wrapper a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #000;
}
Technically, wherever you specify a color you should also specify a background color, and vice versa. The CSS validator will warn you about this, but not generate an error. So, it's really up to you.

Thank you kewlceo,

I was trying to find where the initial text colour came from. Anyway, your solution works fine.

The initial text color will be provided by the user's browser default setting unless specified by the page author. So, you could make sure that the entire page is set to black by setting it in your body element, but the anchor tags would still be blue by default. If you want to affect all body text and all anchor text, you could do that as follows:

body {
color: #000;
}
a {
color: #000;
}
