RE: [WSG] anchor, classes and IDs

[Iain Gardiner]

You have the right idea, but the wrong methodology.  The selectors you need
to use are:

        #idName {
                font-family: Verdana;
        }
        #idName a:link {
                color: #FFF;
        }
        #idName a:visited {
                color: #FFF;
        }
        #idName a:hover {
                color: #FFF;
        }
        #idName a:active {
                color: #FFF;
        }

But it's much easier to write it out this way:

        #idName a:link, #idName a:hover, #idName a:visited, #idName a:active
{
                color: #fff;
        }

Subject: [WSG] anchor, classes and IDs


Hello All,

This might be a dumb question but I don't really know how to search
correctly in google for my answer.

Is it possible that any anchor inside a DIV will inherit all the properties
from the DIV?

For example

/***
CSS
**/

#idName {
        font-family: Verdana;
}
a.idName:link {
        color: FFF;
}
a.idName:visited {
        color: #FFF;
}
a.idName:hover {
        color: #FFF;
}
a.idName:active {
        color: #FFF;
}

<!-- HTML -->

I would like to declare all id once and be done with it.
<div id="idName"><a href="index.html" >Home</a><a href="sub1.html"
>Sub1</a></</div>

As it is right now I have to declare the class to each anchor usage:

<div id="idName"><a href="index.html" class="footer">Home</a>"><a
href="sub1.html" class="footer">Sub1</a ></div>


I hope anyone can understand my question and let me know if it is possible.
I believe it is but I just don't know how exactly declare my classes.

Thank you!
