the last question I will ever ask . . .

I was pretty much okay making my web site in the wrong with with my OS 9
version of dreamweaver. Then, with help from people here, I started using CSS
rather than giff roll-overs and tables. So my web site now is pretty much
running well. Unfortunately I just moved to OS X and the new DW is rather
confusing. I bought "The Missing Manual" and I am getting used to things. BUT,
I have one FINAL question. (Hey, don't laugh.)
I have got the CSS working with my old styles which gave me indents etc for my
text stuff. The CSS I use for my links however was given to me by a kind soul
and I simply pasted it in all my index pages. This is it:
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
a:link { color: black; text-decoration: none }
a:active { color: red; text-decoration: none }
a:visited { color: black; text-decoration: none }
a:hover { color: red; text-decoration: none }
</STYLE>
And now my question: since CSS is working really well in this version, how can
I make this style and save it rather than copy and paste????????

If I get an answer for this one I will throw ten yen into the prayer box next
time I go to the local shrine and thank the person who helped me!

Cheers

Perhaps save it as a snippet?
But the style is wrong and might fail in some cases:

1. Use lower case only. In case you'll do a xhtml document later, it
won't validate with upper case letters.
2. The order of the "pseudo" classes should be link, visited, hover, active.

Hope it helps. I can use some godly support..

Consider exporting your CSS to its own file and then linking to it. That way you will only have to change it once if you want to update those styles in your pages.

Additionally it could be shortened:

a:link { color: black; text-decoration: none }
a:visited { color: black; text-decoration: none }
a:hover { color: red; text-decoration: none }
a:active { color: red; text-decoration: none }

This can be reduced to

a {color: black; text-decoration: none}
a:hover {color: red}

mschultz took the words right out of me... it's always best to make an external css so you just update that and it changes all the pages.
