Link color (I'm stumped)

Hi,

I’m feeling stumped over something, and I don’t know how to create what I’m trying to.

© – Posted by <i><txp:author /></i> @ < txp:permlink >< txp:posted />< /txp:permlink > | < txp:comments_invite wraptag=“p” / >
<br>

I’m trying to get the portion of my post footer to be gray in color, only after the @ symbol; what precedes it is already the correct color. I tried wrapping specified text in the span style tags, but that didn’t work. I have it in the default form in the forms section, since none of that footer code translates in the actual post footer form, and I don’t understand that as well. Basically, on my black background, time of post, that vertical divider and comment link are hidden.

Btw, I put spaces in a lot of that code to make it display.

So, I’m stumped and I would greatly appreciate some guidance. Thanks a lot! :)

<code>
&copy; – Posted by @ < txp:permlink >< txp:posted />< /txp:permlink > | < txp:comments_invite wraptag=“p” / >
</code>

Make sure your selector is correct. In this case, everything after the @ symbol will be what the link color is of your website. So, if there’s an article footer tag, like this:

<code>
<div id=“articlefooter”>
&copy; – Posted by @ < txp:permlink >< txp:posted />< /txp:permlink > | < txp:comments_invite wraptag=“p” / >
</div>
</code>

then specify the css this way:
<code>
#articlefooter a
{
color: #ccc;
}
</code>

<code>
#articlefooter a:visited
{
color: #fff;
}
</code>

You should probably have posted this in the CSS forum. Also, make sure you provide more information (about your css, what youve tried etc) before asking next time.
