text link color

[paradox]

Could someone please tell me if it is possible to have different text link colors in different table cells. I have a page that has text links in table cells that have background colours of white and black. The page properties are set to link="red" alink="blue" as red is the only colour that will show up ok in both cells of the table but ideally I would like link="yellow" in the black background cell and link="green" in the cell with the white background.
Is this possible or are the settings in the body tag overall dominant for the page?

Thanks in advance for any help.

The "proper" way to do this, according to the latest web standards is to use CSS, but if you aren't familiar with CSS, I think you can do it other ways as well.

Try doing something like this:
<a href="#"><font color="red">Link Text</font></a>
which should make the link red all the time, regardless of what your settings are in the body tag and regardless of wheter it is visited.

I vaguely remember that you could also place the link, vlink, and alink color specifications in an <a> tag as well, but I may be wrong.
<a link="red" vlink="purple" href="#">Link Text</a>

If you'd like an explanation of how to change link colors with CSS, I can maybe write you one or point you towards some CSS resources.

Thanks very much jason.
The "Try doing something like this:
<a href="#"><font color="red">Link Text</font></a>" works great ... your help is much appreciated.
