Table with different colors for links in each cell

[Kristian Virkus]

Hello!

I'd like to create a site where a table divides the navigation bar
(left, dark background) from the content (right, bright background). In
the navigation bar my links shall be displayed with a bright text color
and the links in the content cell shall be shown with dark text color.
How can I manage this?

"yes", but not without scripting, or manually defining the colour of each
cell.

each cell.

I think he just means:

<table>
<tr>
<td id="mainnav">
<ol>
<li><a href="blah.ext">Blah</a></li>
<li><a href="pfft.ext">Pfft</a></li>
...
</ol>
</td>
<td>
<p>Content</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>


with CSS such as:


#mainnav {
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #000000;
}
#mainnav a:link {
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #000000;
}
#mainnav a:visited {
color: #dcdcdc;
background-color: #000000;
}
#mainnav a:hover {
color: #ff40ff;
background-color: #000000;
}
#mainnav a:active {
color: #40ff40;
background-color: #000000;
}
a:link {
color: #0000ff;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
a:visited {
color: #c000c0;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
a:hover {
color: #ff0000;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
a:active {
color: #008000;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
