All my A href links are styles the same.

how to change one?

[akmac]

I list my toll free number in the header of my site that links to my contact page. Currently, because it is linked, it is subject to this:

A{color:#666;text-decoration:none}
A:hover{color:#999}

How can I make it White all the time, underlined when the cursor hovers over it?

I need to change this one thing without affecting the rest of the linked text.

TYIA!

Without seeing the rest of the code I'll have to guess.

Perhaps add a span round the number and add extra CSS to style that span differently?

... or an ID or class name. Really, whatever you choose is fine. You may already be able to target that anchor, if its location is unique.

#someid a {}
#someclass a {}
someelem someelem someelem a {}

Wow, thanks for the rapid replies! Pardon my newbiness, I'm one of those "screen designers" trying to hack this minor change. How would I implement either the span, ID or Class to the following code on the page?

<td align="right" valign="top"><font style="font-size: 26px; white-space: nowrap; padding-right: 8px; " color="white" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><a title="Contact Us" href="http://learncss.youfool.com" target="_self">1-800-xxx-xxxx</a></td>

I think I can wrangle the changes to the stylesheet.css, but may be back shortly for that. ;-)

Set a class. If it's currently under generic <a> code than all you need to set is something like

a.special {color: white;}
a.special:hover {et cetera;}

paired with

<a class = "special" href = "/contact et cetera

Thanks! You guys (and gal) are the best!

<a title="Contact Us" href="http://learncss.youfool.com" target="_self">

Now that's funny!

[g1smd]

<a class="special" title="Contact Us" href="http://example.com" target="_self">1-800-xxx-xxxx</a>

That'll do it. Do this in place of the span I suggested.

You'll need a few extra lines in your CSS file to style the "special" class.
