Links and CSS

bobrugh · 03-09-2010, 02:44 AM

I have the links on my page set up as styles, a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active. But that limits my links to be at one point size type. Is there a way to have two distinct CSS styles for separate links at different point sizes?

see the link in my sig for different links

Thanks, that worked out well. Can you help me with something else? How do I set up the link to open a new browser window, if the links are styled as such? If I use the built in java behavior, the linked website opens in the current window AND the new browser window.

don't forget though that you shouldn't use pts for the web (except for a print style sheet) use percentages, ems or pixels (with the caveat that px don't resize in ie6) *if* that's what you mean by 'point sizes'

I was mistaken about point size, been too long working in print. I was using what ever the unit was in the drop down CSS menus in Dreamweaver which is px. (I just checked) So from what you've said I should change that to em.
