Href link color in table

Question

I have an html table with a href link in a cell and I dont know how can I set this href link color. Background color (red) works okay but the simple "color: green" no.

else if($row['OK']=='OK') // if the word is OK
            echo "<td style='background-color: red;'><div id='bot'><a href='nyugtaz.php?callsign=".$row['callsign']."'>$nyugtaze</a></div></td>";

The code is what I tried:

else if($row['OK']=='OK') // if the word is OK
            echo "<td style='background-color: red; color: green'><div id='bot'><a href='nyugtaz.php?callsign=".$row['callsign']."'>$nyugtaze</a></div></td>";

Answer 1

You should avoid adding inline styles.

Your document will be simpler to read and maintain with an external stylesheet.

Conditionally add a class to the table cell, then leverage that class in your stylesheet.

} elseif ($row['OK'] == 'OK') {
    echo "<td class='okCell'><div id='bot'><a href='nyugtaz.php?callsign=".$row['callsign']."'>{$nyugtaze}</a></div></td>";

CSS:

.okCell {
    background-color: red;
}
.okCell a {   # handle all of the linked/visited/etc variations if you wish
    color: green;
}

I am sure I could advise a cleaner way to code this up, but you haven't offered much context.

Ps I hope that id='bot' is unique to the page.

Answer 2

Try following CSS will help you.

 #bot a:link, #bot a:visited{ color:black; } #bot a:hover{ color:green; }

 <table> <tr> <td style='background-color: red;'><div id='bot'><a href='nyugtaz.php?callsign=".$row['callsign']."'>test</a></div></td> </tr> </table>
