if i have in a table:

code:

---

<td class="newsitem">

---

and in the CSS:

code:

---

a.newsitem {
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
}

---

shouldnt the links in that table cell be black
i also have in the CSS

code:

---

a {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    text-decoration: none;
}

---

because the rest of the link in the page SHOULD be white, just not the ones in that particular table cell. is there a way to do that?

iirc it should be newsitem a or newsitem.a instead of a.newsitem

lol you gave me the idea to re-arrange some things. .newsitem a { works

thank you

The way CSS works is that a list of ement/class names means different things depending on the separator.
.newsitem, a {} applies the formatting to all top-level .newsitem and <a>.
.newsitem a {} applies to <a> inside a .newsitem.

a.newsitem {} is making a class for <a> which would only be shown when you use:

<a class="newsitem"></a>

td.newsitem a
{

}

That would work (I think)
