Subject: Control over changing colours of links on page

[Posted on behalf of a colleague who is not a subscriber to WEB4LIB. Any
help anyone can give with the following would be most welcomed.  Thanks
in advance. ]

"I would like to know a general way to change the colour of links on a
HTML page. Currently, I set the value of all of the links via
ALINK/VLINK/LINK statements in the body, which obviously defines the
colours of the links for the page. But I would like one of my links on
the page to override these settings with it's own. Does anyone know how
to do this?

I have heard that if you do:

<A href="..."><Font color="#ffffff"> link name </Font></A>

this works in Internet explorer - I haven't managed to get IE to do
this, and besides that, I need it to work in all browsers and not just
IE."
