changing a link color in an external javascript file

Hello Everyone,

I have a css style sheet with all my links to be the color black by default.

I also have a function that changes the color of the link onmouseover which is the following:

[CODE]function changeColorHeader(els) {
els.style.color = “#1569c7”;
//add another function to change back to its original color
if(document.addEventListener) {
els.addEventListener(“mouseout”, function () { els.style.color = “black”; }, false);
} else if(document.attachEvent) {
els.attachEvent(“onmouseout”, function() { els.style.color=”black”;});
}
//this area is missing
return; // this area is missing
}// this is the missing (}) code that triggers the error[/CODE]

I’d like to make a CERTAIN link a different color from the default so it can stand out.

How can I do that?

I have tried the following:

Code:

<span style=”color:#ff0000;”> test </span>

inside the
Code:

<a href> </a>

And what that does is that it does change the link color to RED which is what I have there, but the onmouseover to change the link doesn’t work, it says RED the whole time.

Is there something in my original code that I can tweak to basically just have that link show up with a different color and then have the option of a different color onmouseover?

I also tried writing a class in CSS:

Code:

A.red:link {color: #ff0000; text-decoration: none;}

And that didn’t work either…

Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!
