changing a single link colour

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 31.2005

Hi there. The links on my page are set to a specific colour (green). There is a single link that I would like to change its colour to red. At the moment I am specifying the link colours in the head but at a later date will change it to specify the colours in a CSS page.

I tried using <span> around the single link and a style sheet to change the link colour using inline styles but it didnt work.

Am I barking up the wrong tree or is it just a syntax thing.

Any comments would be welcome

Thanks in advance.

Mike

CSS
#myredlink a {
color:red;
}

HTML
<i>
</i>&lt;span id="myredlink"&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;this is a red link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
