Without trawling through all of your css, I can tell you that you are setting
the class in the second parameter of the link function when it should be in the
first. Try changing line 19 to:
• echo $this->Html->link(
• $letter,
• array(
• 'controller' => 'Providers',
• 'action' => 'view_admit_lookup',
• $letter
• ),
array('class' => 'link_style')
• );
Then check your output to ensure the style has been applied. Use Firebug - it's
a godsend for working with CSS.
