How do I override a CSS setting?

[Ineedjava]

My CSS entries are listed in a single external file named styles.css

In that file, A:Link is given a color, font-size, etc.

In my HTML document, there is a special situation where I need to override the font-size assigned to a link.

I tried placing a <font size=&quot;-2&quot; > command in front of the link I want to change but it always defaults to the A:link value in the CSS.

Does anybody know how I can do an override?

<font size=&quot;2&quot;><a></a></font> will not work.

However, <a><font></font></a> will work. &quot;The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us&quot;
