I have defined links, vlinks, and alinks in the <body> tag,
And hopefully text, bgcolor, and background too, for obvious (?)
reasons. If not, you might just as well do things the best way and move
such stuff into CSS.
but
there is a section of text within a table that I need to define
with different link colors due to the cells background color. What
are some possible solutions?
a. Remove the table. My crystal ball tells that it's a useless
"navigation menu". Just put the essential links onto the main
page, and link to the main page from each subpage.
b. As the second best option, stop playing with different background
colors for the table, since it's just confusing and prevents you
from using link colors that reasonably resemble the common defaults.
c. If you still want to play with the colors, you simply need to use
CSS for it, since in HTML you can only set the global link colors.
And this means that it's simplest to move all color settings into
CSS. You would assign a class to the table and use CSS rules
with contextual selectors like
table.navigation a:link { color: blue; background: white; }
