MULTIPLE LINKSTYLES ON SAME PAGE The final topic deals with how to add multiple link styles that can be used on the same page.
In the above examples we addressed the HTML selector - A:link etc - and thus redefined the overall link style. How do we define a link style that is only active in a certain area of the page? The answer is: context dependent selectors. Rather than addressing the A:link selector we will address it while being dependant on a certain outer class that surrounds the area where we'd like our link style to be effective. For example: 8/8/2005 3:52 PM

Note how we use the
to define the context. This is smart for two reasons: 1) The obvious, that it allows us to use different link styles on the same page, rather than being limited to using a single overall link style. 2) We can define entire areas where a certain link style works for all links within that area. Thus, we don't have to add a style definition to each and every link in that area.
