A tutorial on Sub class

What's a subclass? And there's two problems with your code - you're missing the : between the a and what follows in some cases and don't put " " around the values in your CSS.

oops was just about to ask "what's a subclass?"

I think some basic tutorials are in order try yourhtmlsource or htmldog for starters to get a grasp of some basics.

Hello, thanks a lot, for you advice, after looking carefully, I have tried to do my pseudo class again as follow.
Unfortunately it is still not working!
I have already have a category where I describe what should look like a link.
so the gial if this class is to make some links smaller (smlink). I do not understand what to do and do not have any problem to make simpler pseudo class as well!

.smlink:link { color: white; font-family: Arial Black; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none }

.smlink:visited
{
color: white;
font-family: Arial Black;
font-size: 10pt;
text-decoration: none
}

.smlink:active
{
color: white;
font-family: Arial Black;
font-size: 10pt;
text-decoration: none
}

.smlink:hover
{
color: #004080;
text-decoration:none
}

The hover state has to come before the active state and the way you've set up your CSS the class has to applied to the anchor itself. Showing us your HTML as well would be useful.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I have just tried to do what you told me. It still not working.
I believe that there might be a kind of conflict with the general link category in my css.
Which is as follow.

a:link, a:visited{color: "white"; font-family: Arial Black; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;}, a:active{color: "white"; font-family: Arial Black; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;}

a:hover {color: "#004080"; text-decoration:"none"}

img {
border-style: solid;
border-width: 4px;
border-color: #004080
}

.pagetitle {color: "white"; font-family: Arial Black; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;}

.noBorder img {border:none;}
and apply it to selected images as:

.smlink:link
{
color: white;
font-family: Arial Black;
font-size: 10pt;
text-decoration: none
}

.smlink:visited
{
color: white;
font-family: Arial Black;
font-size: 10pt;
text-decoration: none
}

.smlink:hover
{
color: #004080;
text-decoration:none
}

.smlink:active
{
color: white;
font-family: Arial Black;
font-size: 10pt;
text-decoration: none
}

As regard my html code it is like that

It woulod be great if you could explain me what is wrong on that one.

Thanks in advance.

Er . . . you don't have a doctype

You've applied the class to the paragraph, not directly to the anchor (as I already pointed out), so your CSS should be:

.smlink a:link {} .smlink a:visited {} .smlink a:hover {} .smlink a:active {}
