changing text style in catalog box

[manuva]

I'm strugling to change the text colour of the links in the catalog box (and other box's) without effecting all the other links in the body of my site.

 

I'm changing the values in stylesheet.css

 

Why is it that these two styles:

 

A.headerNavigation

A.headerNavigation:hover

 

effect the header text (ie. they overide the settings for A and A:hover)

 

however if i define a new style called A.boxText and A.boxText

I set them in my stylesheet.css file like this, and it works for me:

 

.boxText a:link
     {
     color: #7300d6;
     background-color: transparent;
     text-decoration: none;
     }

.boxText a:visited
     {
     color: #7300d6;
     background-color: transparent;
     text-decoration: none;
     }

.boxText a:hover
     {
     color: #7300d6;
     background-color: transparent;
     text-decoration: underline;
     }

 

HTH,
