Is there a way to have a different link color for all href possible values without defining new classes for all the links? If I were to start building the website I would use classes... however, this project I have already has a huge amount of links to different sources... FTP, HTTP and mailto.

I guess the best chance I have so far is doing a global search/replace with the exception of local links that don't start with "http".

I guess the question points to ::
is there something similar to a style like

a [href]{}
a [mailto]{}
a [ftp]{}
etc...

thanks in advance

you could give them all ID's and use those to identify em.

So you'd get something like:

<head><style>
.FTP{color: blue; text-decoration: underline;}
.HTTP{color: red; text-decoration: overline;}
.FTP{color: green; text-decoration: underline overline;}
</style></head>

<A HREF=&quot;FTP://blablabla1&quot; ID=&quot;FTP&quot;>bla1</A>
<A HREF=&quot;FTP://blablabla2&quot; ID=&quot;FTP&quot;>bla2</A>
<A HREF=&quot; ID=&quot;HTTP&quot;>bla site</A>
<A HREF=&quot;MAILTO://blablabla&quot; ID=&quot;MAILME&quot;>bla me</A>

I hope this helps,

<A HREF=&quot; ID=&quot;HTTP&quot;>bla site</A>
<A HREF=&quot;MAILTO://blablabla&quot; ID=&quot;MAILME&quot;>bla me</A>

also what you tried requires ID's, then it should work!
I hope this helps,
