   Hi!
   In index.php I retrieve my post title into a table like below. I am very pleased with the table layout.

   I then try to format the actual title text (in style.css) to remain a hyperlink, but to have the same text colour as the rest of the text.

   But I just can't get it to work, although I know it is possible. The text remains purple (visited link) whatever I do! Please, can you help? What classes should I format, and how?
   I thought that the post_title:link etc would work..?
   Johanna

   from index.php:
   <!--Populate the Post Title -->
   <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="98%">
   <tr><td colspan="3" class="post_title_date"> <?php the_time(_t('l jS F, Y')) ?></td> </tr>
   <tr> <td class="post_left_title_ico"> </td>
   <td class="post_title">
   <a class="post_title_text"
   href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"
   rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
   <?php the_title();?>

   </td>
   <td class="post_right_title_ico"> </td>
   </tr>
   </table>
   ====================================

   You'll have to dig around in the style.css file for the a:visited, and change the color. If there isn't a color specified, then you need to specify it.

   Other than that, you may have to really use stylesheet specificity, but I can't help much since you're doing layout with tables. You'd have to do something like td a:visited and maybe add in a class too.... depends on what you've actually got in the stylesheet.

   That worked! Thanks vkaryl x!

   (I had to use the div class to apply the property to, but it turned out I had had a syntax error earlier.)

   I never had expected css&html to be this tricky - the positioning is insane. I had thought "Oh well I know programming, so I can learn it in no time" lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that did not happen ;-)

   For the record; I am NOT using tables for positioning. I only used it for that one header.

   And I just learnt that you the top function only "works" if you have applied the appropriate Position attribute.

   Oh well, my blog is a project for learning CSS.
