Trouble with header and footer links

[j1mmy]

I am trying the make the footer and header independent of each other. At the moment, what ever colour changes I make to the footer also occur the header. I have separated this by editting the header table though.

However, one thing I cannot solve is the hyperlink colours. I don't know what to enter in the template to make the navbar links a certain colour, I am entering this:a:link {color:blue;} but its not working.

I need to have the footer and navbar to be two separate link colours.

Just add a custom class to one of them, maybe footer add a custom class ex: footer_1 and then add the color through css, it will only affect that specific class.

.footer_1 a {
color:#ffff;
}

will turn all link hover active visited to same color. if you want diff. hover color add this too

.footer_1 a:hover {
color:red;
}
