Change the Color of Hyperlink inside a Container Using CSS

A user recently asked me if it was possible to change the color of hyperlinks placed in a container, instead of changing the hyperlink color of the entire page. Here’s a simple solution to change the hyperlink color only inside divOne:

#divOne a:link
{
    color:White;
}

#divOne a:visited
{
    color:White;
}

#divOne a:hover
{
    color:Black;
}

Similarly if you want to change hyperlink color nested in containers; for eg: a hyperlink kept inside a table inside divOne, use this:

#divOne table a:link
{
    color:White;
}
