Two boxes with diffrent Styles for <a href>

Hallo!
(Soory for my english ;-) )
I have create a style like this:

a:link { text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; color:red; }
a:visited { text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; color:#ff0033;}
a:hover { text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold;
background-color:#FFF000; }
a:active { text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold;
background-color:#CCFFFF; }

Also I have create a few boxes like:
#box1 { position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; width:200px; height:200px;
z-index:1; background-color:#FFFccc; }

/* box 2 = Menuleiste */
#box2 { position:absolute; top:200px; left:0px; width:200px; height:auto;
z-index:2; background-color:#000666}


My Question:
is it possible to create a spezial Definition for a spezial box, so that in
box1 Links are coloured red (a:link {color:red; })
and in box2 Links are coloured blue

Use styles like this:

#box1 a:link { color: red; }
#box1 a:visited { ... }
....
#box2 a:link { color: blue; }
....

Sorry but this doesn't work.

ButI try to use "classes" and this works:
a.box { text-align:center; text-decoration:none; vertical-align: top; }

a.box:link { color:blue; background-color:transparent; }
a.box:visited { color:blue; background-color:transparent; }
a.box:hover { color:blue; background-color:white; }
a.box:active { color:#ff0; background-color:#a03; }

Thank you for help

Yes it does. You just had mistake somewhere, which we can't know whitout
URL. Are you sure you didn't change your html?

ButI try to use "classes" and this works:
a.box { text-align:center; text-decoration:none; vertical-align: top; }

a.box:link { color:blue; background-color:transparent; }
a.box:visited { color:blue; background-color:transparent; }
a.box:hover { color:blue; background-color:white; }
a.box:active { color:#ff0; background-color:#a03; }

But now you need to add class to every A element. Not good idea.
