I have a div in which I'd like to override my global link style. I have two link styles, one global, one specific. Here the code:
A:link {text-decoration: none; color: #FF0000;}
A:visited {text-decoration: none; color: #FF0000;}
A:hover {text-decoration: none; color: #FF0000;}
A:active {text-decoration: none; color: #FF0000;}
#macrosectiontext
{
position:relative;
font:Arial, sans-serif;
text-align:center;
font-size:50px;
font-style: bold;
margin-top:245px;
opacity: 0.6;
background-color:transparent;
}
#macrosectiontext A:link {text-decoration: none; color: #000000;}
#macrosectiontext A:visited {text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF;}
#macrosectiontext A:hover {text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF;}
#macrosectiontext A:active {text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF;}
and I use the div like this:
<div id="macrosectiontext"><a href="www.google.it">bla bla bla</a></div>
however it seems that it doesn't work. The div still inherits the global link style.
CSS work on inheritance, so you should only override the properties you want to change.
Try always to write HTML & CSS lowercase, still your HTML and CSS are correct
a:link,
a:visited,
a:hover,
a:active {
text-decoration: none;
color: #f00;
}
#macrosectiontext {
position: relative;
font:Arial, sans-serif;
text-align: center;
font-size: 50px;
font-style: bold;
margin-top: 245px;
opacity: 0.6;
background-color: transparent;
}
#macrosectiontext a:link {
color: #000;
}
#macrosectiontext a:visited,
#macrosectiontext a:hover,
#macrosectiontext a:active {
color: #fff;
}
I made a fiddle for you to show your code is working (changed the hover color, just for demo)
