hyperlinks in different colours on one page

Hello! Can anyone tell me how I can use different hyperlink colours (with different hover, active, ... colours too if possible) in one page? I have done it before but forgot how! (Something with defining a class somewhere...)
Thanks!

CSS: a:link {color: #0000ff;}
a:visited {color: #7f7f00;}
a:hover {color: #ff0000;}
a:active {color: #ff0000;}

Hi there wwwolf,

w3schools.com (http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp) should give you all the answers :D

to take care of a bunch of links....

.special a:links {color: #0000ff;}
.special a:visited {color: #7f7f00;}
.special a:hover {color: #ff0000;}
.special a:active {color: #ff0000;}

then in your coding...

<div class="special">
enter links as normal in this area
</div>

to take care of a single link....

a.special2:links {color: #0000ff;}
a.special2:visited {color: #7f7f00;}
a.special2:hover {color: #ff0000;}
a.special2:active {color: #ff0000;}

then in your coding...

<a href="pagename.html" class="special2"> text here </a>
