trouble with hover effect on links

[heatherann89]

i can't for the life of me figure out how to get my links to change to a different color when the mouse hovers it.

this is the type of html i'm working with:

<a href="url here">link text here</a>

can anybody help me out with this?

a: hover
{
background-color: #ffffff;
color: #000000;
}

Change the colour numbers to suit your situation.

You put it in your CSS file.

Or just put it between style tags (if you don't have a CSS file):

<style type="text/css">
a:hover
{
background-color: #ff0000;
color: yellow;
}
</style>
<a href="url here">link text here</a>

If you already have a style section in your code (maybe between the head tags) you should put this style code in that section.

Good all CSS. I'll have to learn it someday...

Where you will put this link?

I mean - normal source code or some-kind of input systems , witch allow HTML?
