Font color for links through style sheet

[Gerlyn]

I want to have different colors for links in my document. Due to background colors, the default blue is not readable all the time. I have an ID class in the style sheet to give me a new set of link styles and it works as expected in Sigil, but does not work in iBooks when tested. I have used the code !important in the style sheet which has always worked with other styles, but still ignores it.

My second question is I have created anchor links in the document. The actual anchor I have created changes to a font color of blue when viewed in iBooks. This confuses people who think its a link. What do I put in the style sheet to override that?

This is really a HTML question.


a:link {
color: blue;
}

a:visited {
color: purple;
}

a:active {
color: red;
}

Yes that is how you would do the standard link, but was not the question. I have the above that I use, I need another set so I can use different colors that works in the epub that iBooks recognizes. It works in the Sigil program that I have used to create the book, but that is it.

You need to ask in a i-books group. Sigil makes VALID EPUB's
i-books does it a think-different way

BTW you can substitute any color (even make them the same: ie black)
