Two different colours for links

Hi, I'm using Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 to design a page and I am wanting to create a page where my text is blue, and the links at the top and bottom of the page are blue. However I want the menu on the left hand side to have links in white text.

My problem is that I set the link colour in the page propperties and it doesn't let me have one link in one colour and another link in another colour. Is this possible? If so how?

Thanks satkin72

Code:

<style>
a { color: red; }
a.white { color: white; }
</style>

Code:

<a href="...">
<a hred="..." class="white">

Hi there, if you'd like an in-depth yet quick demonstration on how to use css (i'll narrow it down to using it just for text and colors) send me an email, i'll get you started along an easy way to do this. send an email to cantin@gmail.com css is definately the best way of doing this, and since you're working in Dreamweaver MX, that program incorporates css very well, and makes it super easy to use.

Let me know,

Alan
