need to over-ride .css setting

[anf1y]

I looked round the Forum and created new styles in the .css folder and applied them as <a class=...>. Nothing happens!

All I want to do is remove the bold font from links in the section menu. In the body text I want it bold (as it is blue), but the side menu is black and bold looks a bit, ...er, bold!

I can change the colour with a <font color="xxxxx" in the link, but <font weight="medium" does nothing. Am I just being stupid? I hope that's all it is, if so, please put me out of my misery!

If you absolutely must use <font> then make it <font style="font-weight:normal">....

Much better though to create a class for the anchors:

In the style sheet:

a.leftnav {font-weight:normal; font-size:10px; font-family:Verdana}
a.leftnav:hover {text-decoration:underline}

This way it will be as you have it now but without the boldness.

You would refer to it like "<a href="..." class="leftnav">Your link</a>

Thanks for that - I had tried a class in the style sheet, but had font-weight:light which didn't work. Font-weight:normal does. Thanks a lot!
