Custom Active, Hover, Visited Link

Though out my site I have a common link style . But I need to have a different link style for a specific links. How can I create another style while keeping the default style.


A:link {
COLOR: #000071;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}
A:visited {
COLOR: #000071;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}
A:active {
COLOR: #000071;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}
A:hover {
COLOR: #ff4400;
text-decoration: underline;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}




Is there a way to add the hover/visited/link/active/ style to a specific class.


.messagebodyheader {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
font-style: normal;
line-height: normal;
color: #003399;
}

use a.myClassName:link { } and set a class attribute on your links.

Of course there is.

a.messagebodyheader:hover {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
font-style: normal;
line-height: normal;
color: #003399;
}

Another tip. I noticed your style for A:link, A:visited, and A:active are the same. You can accomplish the same thing with less code if you do it like this:

A {
COLOR: #000071;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}
A:hover {
COLOR: #ff4400;
text-decoration: underline;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}

}

Or, even better: a {
color: #000071;
font: 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
color: #f40;
text-decoration: underline;
}

Changed...

Worked like a charm!
