Link styles in 5

Is choosing colours for link states in the inspector when page is selected -
under Page Appearance settings - a good way to set link attributes?

Or is it better to create link styles that universally apply.

I know it seems a silly question but I have seen all sorts of posts about
doing this and as I am trying to catch up with 5 after not really getting to
grips with 4 and still being a bit 3 minded.

Best you can do is actually create link styles in the Styles pane. Not only can you adjust link-colors, you can do all kinds of styling. And … you can target seperate DIV’s if you wish.

Well I tried that using each link tag in each style to simply refer to a
colour and it failed to register any but the normal when in the browser.
Maybe I missed some necessary steps.

So I tried the Inspector route which seems to just work.

I did find that after having set via inspector in the Page instead of
Mastern, (an error often done here), I could not get that page to accept
styles that were then set in Master no matter what I tried - so I made a new
page and pasted to it as a workaround.

This sort of thing is not uncommon for me in Freeway but usually I am too
busy working around and continuing to stop and write it.

I guess if I want different link styles in the document/site then the way I
have chosen will not allow it.

For DIV-specific linkstyles use these :

#DIVNAME a:active { … }
#DIVNAME a:hover { … }
#DIVNAME a:link { … }
#DIVNAME a:visited { … }

For uniform linkstyles just remove #DIVNAME … it’s that easy.
