Color of hyperlink Bob 09-22-2004

Hello,

I have an <h1> banner that is white font on black background. I am using CSS
to style the banner in white on black.

I would like to hyperlink the words, but I want to force the hyperlink to
remain white in color rather than changing colors due to the hyperlink. Just
for the banner hyperlinks - not for the whole page with other hyperlinks.

Is there a way to force the banner hyperlink to remain white?

Thanks,

Bob

Is the <h1> the only <h1> with hyperlinks in it on the page?
In that case:
h1 a:link, h1 a:visited, h1 a:hover, h1 a:active{
        color:white;
        background-color:black;
}

If it isn't, wrap it in a div with a class.

Hello Els,

Yes, the <h1> is the only <h1> on the page and it would now be hyperlinked -
www.usernomics.com/testsite .

I will try the CSS you suggested.

Thanks a lot,

Bob

I see it's in a div too:
<div id="banner1"><h1>ERGONOMICS ~ HUMAN FACTORS ~ USER
INTERFACE DESIGN ~ USABILITY TESTING</h1></div>

(I wouldn't call that background black btw ;-) )

So if you add #banner1 before every h1 in that bit of css,
you'd be able to use more h1 hyperlinks on your pages without
styling them the same way as this one.
Like this:
#banner1 h1 a:link,
#banner1 h1 a:visited,
#banner1 h1 a:hover,
#banner1 h1 a:active

You're welcome :-)

This is off-topic, but I don't find the justified text to be very
usable. It ends up looking like this with really large
spaces; my eyes won't follow sentences over that much space.
