With the code below, you've set the color of link text ONLY in #seitenende and also ALL text in #footer and #pieddepage.
#footer, #pieddepage, #seitenende a:link { color: #999369; } To set links only in these three divs you'd need this as a first line: #footer a:link, #pieddepage a:link, #seitenende a:link I've often wished there was a way to compact that type of code more, as maybe you were trying to do. But I don't believe there is. Hope that helps.
