font color and text decoration

**fatbottoms** · 12-21-2005 04:06 PM

i can't for the life of me understand why i can't change the font color or get rid of the text-decoration of my text links in either i.e. or firefox?

why is it blue?

here's the code and link, what am i doing wrong?

.newbook { font: italic bold 14px helvetica ;
color: #FC0; position: relative ;
left: -12cm; top: 1.5cm;
float: left; text-decoration: none }

.newbook a:hover { color: #0F0 }

.signup { font: 12px helvetica; color: #FC0;
text-decoration: none;
position: relative;
left: -5cm; top: 10cm;
white-space: nowrap;
float: left }

.signup a:hover { color: #0C0 }

<body>
<div class="newbook">
<a href="http://lulu.com/fatbottoms">
"NEW<br> BOOK"</a></div>

<div class="signup">

Assign the default link color and text-decoration to .newbook a

hmmm... i could of sworn i tried that and it didn't work, but that works great now. thanks nogdog.

i know i tried "a:link" and the font color didn't change.
is there a difference between "a" and "a:link"?
