I can't change the colour of linked text?

I have a black background on the side of my web page containing the menu bars which requires the link text to be white so it can be
seen. I also have it set to change to yellow when you hover over it.
The problem is that this setting seems universal throughout the website and I cannot get the links in general text (such as 'contact
us' links, etc) on each page to change colour - they default to white which doesn't show up as the background is also white.
i have tried creating a CSS rule for links in the body of a page but to no avail.
Can I change the colour of links on different parts of the website?
I am relatively new to dreamweaver with little knowledge of CSS, etc but I'm sure this must be possible.

Yes it is possible to have differen coloured links..
You need to look at Pseudo-classes / descendant selectors:

    How can I change the email address linked to my iCloud account for iPhone 4s?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If it's your non-iCloud mail address, start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account
    If it is your iCloud mail address you want to change, you can't.

  • Can you change the wording of a text that someone sent you ?

    my sister sent someone a text , they in turn showed me on their phone with her name/number at the top of the feed  to prove she said something to this person about this certain subject . She is denying everything in this text and said he altered it to show me what he wanted me to see . Can you change the wording on a text sent from someone in their feed with their name/number at the top of the feed? Does this make sense ? What I do know is , you can copy and paste and change the wording when sending that text to someone else , but he showed me his own phone with these incriminating texts.

    No you can't

  • How can I change the colour of an adf:inputrender tag

    Hello,
    I have an jsp page with an input render tag
    <adf:inputrender model="bindings.OutDateTime" />
    Using a choose tag <c:choose> I want to change the colour of the tag if it is a mandatory field
    The test condition is simple
    <c:when test="${bindings['OutDateTime'].mandatory}">
    however I cannot see anyway of changing the colour of the <adf:inputrender> tag since it does not accept a style or styleclass attribute.

  • How can I change the colour of the chart in the new Keynote?

    In the last version I simply choose the color (for example metallic and choose the one I want for each bar). In the new version I can choose only the category of the colour but how can I manage the colour of a specific bar or pice of pie?
    thanks for your help

    I find the solution! Just click on the section you want to change color, go to style and click the colour you want.

  • Can't change the colours of a style

    Hi!
    I'm newbie Firework user and I couldn't find in this forum any discussion about this. Meaby because English it's not my language. I was making a menu on Fireworks and I found a good style for it but I need to change the colours of the style . As you can see, that style has two colours and I want to change them. How can I do that? Is there any discussion in this forum describing how to do it?
    Thanks

    I've just find by chance the way to do it. Thakns

  • Can i change the colour of my scrolling texts from FCPX

    i have a scrolling texts created at the end of my video clips in FCPX.
    in this credit scrolling texts, i want to show the names of singers and their songs.
    I also want to display them in different colour.
    SINGERS          white colour
    SONGS             red
    i highlight the songs' names and changed to red
    but what happen in FCP is all the texts after the one i highlighted become red.
    just wonder if i want to do such thing.
    Do I need Motion5?
    Also FCPX seems not able to let me enter any RGB vales.
    Can Motion let me do that?
    Thanks.

    hI gfxzen,
    i finally did it.
    i needed to double click my title texts in VIEWER to change colour to particular texts.
    this's a good new to me.
    i know this's not a FCP forum, i posted a question there and post the same question here. I thought maybe i can only do this in Motion.
    now i know i can do it. It seems to me I can only do it if i double click my title texts in VIEWER.
    i'm still not able to do what i want in TEXT inspector. i can change the colour but this always ends up changing colour for all the texts.
    if you don't mind, i have few more questions:
    after i double click the text in the VIEWER, a bounding box appears. i can do anything within the text box.
    how can i get rid of the bounding box after i've done my edit. i always click on the inspector button to close off anything.
    now i can change the colour, can FCPX let me enter any RBG valves.
    I can pick a colour in the colour panel, it seems i can't enter any particular vales i want.
    don't know if you know the answer or not.
    if you do, can you let me know? thanks.

  • How can I change the colour of the tools?

    I want to change the colour of the blue box next to the word diabc. The blue field is a tool with you can change the text. I know how to change one field at a time but I want to change the standard settigns, so that I don't have to change it field for field. I can't find it anywhere. I have found some information about changing the tool bars, but you can't change this tool I use. Only others.
    Who can help me? I have Adobe Acrobat 9 pro extended. I use the Dutch version, so some things may have a different name.
    I have included some pictures.
    If you have any questions, just ask. 

    Thanks for your help so far.
    I hope you can see it now. It's a bit difficult to make a picture from my print screen, because I don't have the right programs at my computer at work.
    The menu is in Dutch. But I don't have so many options as you have. If I go to 'eigenschappen' (in English properties) I get this menu. In this menu you can change the colour, but Adobe doesnt' remember this, so you have to change it every time. And that's quite a lot of work if you want to do this. Because I have to review a document of 40 pages.
