This is a textbook case for the application of stylesheets.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] 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."
