Hi! I am feeling really stupid. I have been struggling for three weeks with my css code for three weeks trying to get a second color for links on: http://www.orionconsultinggroup.net
I have looked it up on several websites and I am afraid that I am making a mess of my css without positive results. I have designed a web page that has a dark gray (#252525) background with a header and navigation panel that contain ecru type (#D4CFBB). I have an inset named #CV which has an ecru background (#D4CFBB) with dark gray lettering (#252525)—the inverse. I cannot, for the life of me, seem to be able to achieve a second color for the links in the #CV area. When I have added a link color in #CV, it turns the type to the background color (the default setting) and the type becomes invisible. Can anyone help me with this? I know I am missing something pretty fundamental. Thanks in advance for your help. Margaret
