Hi,

I am trying to apply style sheets to a link, like this

<a href=&quot; target=&quot;content&quot; class=&quot;MyClassFoo&quot;>Yahoo!!</a>

and the style sheet class is defined as

.MyClassFoo
{
FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
FONT-SIZE: x-small;
TEXT-TRANSFORM: uppercase;
COLOR: #fdfdfd;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: none
}

However in reality the class is never invoked if the href attribute is included.

If I do this

<a target=&quot;content&quot; class=&quot;MyClassFoo&quot;>Yahoo!!</a>

then the class's style is applied.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

What's probably happening is that the A:link rule is overriding the A.MyClassFoo rule. try changing your style declaration to this:
Code: 
A.MyClassFoo, A:link.MyClassFoo
{
   font-weight: bold;
   font-size: x-small;
   text-transform: uppercase;
   color: #fdfdfd;
   font-family: Arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
   text-decoration: none;
}

Thank you pcorreia. However that did not work. Neither did

A.MyClassFoo:link
{
font-weight: bold;
font-size: x-small;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #fdfdfd;
font-family: Arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
}

This works for me:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>

<style>
.MyClassFoo
{
FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
FONT-SIZE: x-small;
TEXT-TRANSFORM: uppercase;
COLOR: #fdfdfd;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
</style>

</head>
<body>
<a href=&quot; target=&quot;content&quot; class=&quot;MyClassFoo&quot;>Yahoo!!</a>
</body>
</html>

If the problem is due to an external/linked CSS, try using a.MyClassFoo
{
}

sweevo Thank you.

I got it working, however what i had to do was to remove the class from the <a> tag and move it up to teh <td> class and then it started working. I have no idea why.

Here's what worked for me.
<body>
<td class=&quot;MyClassFoo&quot;>
<a href=&quot; target=&quot;content&quot; Yahoo!!</a>
</td>
</body>
</html>

I was already using this inside a td so I just went up and added it.

Thanks everyone for looking at this, hopefully this will help someone else.

This is just a guess: remove the semi-colon after the href declaration:

<a href=&quot; target=&quot;content&quot; class=&quot;MyClassFoo&quot;>Yahoo!!</a>

That may be confusing the browser. There seems to be nothing else wrong with your code.

This thing now does not work in Netscape and I need it done there too. It applies the size and does the &quot;All Caps&quot;, if I turn it off I can see the effect. But it does not change the color. I have it for all types of <a> tags.

Any ideas? :-(
