Change the colour of a link to White within a table

[pakman]

I am trying to change the colour of a link to be white and feel like hitting head against a wall.. http://www.leaner-life.co.uk/4in1proteintest.htm – This is just a test page for the time being, but you will see that their are 4 cells in a table that are black. I wanted to change the writing to white (except the part Quick Goals, which is blue – So you see I have done it on all the other ext except the links – However I do it they just will not change …. Any ideas… ??? Am I just missing something so simple…

have done things like a style color:white, have done font color=white.. as mentioned all other text changes except the links

Why are you using a table instead of divs or something else?

You also have the text wrapped in a b tag which is probably overriding everything else.

If you must use a table then give it an id and address it in your css sheet rather than using inline styling.

Thanks for the response Paulie_D

TBH I am newish to website building and learning as I go along so what I put in is basically what I know…

I will try taking the B tag off and see what happens…

I will also look at your suggesions as well… All much appreciated…

Cheers

Glad that worked for you.

As you are new to this, here’s something I said in another thread.

“To be honest, you’re better off starting with a good reset/normalise css file and, perhaps a grid system.

There are a lot of options out there. HTML boilerplate will have a lot of what you need and I highly recommend the 960 grid system (from 960.gs) although the others have their own preference for grid systems.

If you’re not familiar with a grid system or perhaps some of the basics I also recommend checking out a couple of video series from net-tuts.

1. http://net.tutsplus.com/sessions/web-design-from-scratch/
2. http://net.tutsplus.com/sessions/photoshop-to-html/

The first is quite basic but has some useful stuff that we often overlook while the second has a useful section on the 960 grid system.”

Excellent – appreciate that… Something to take a look at.
