We use classes all of the time. simply do something like


A:hover {
color: #cc0000;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: arial,verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;
}

A:hover.bottom {
color: #cc0000;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: normal;
font-family: arial,verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;
}


And then in your link do <A HREF CLASS="bottom" blah blah>

Sometimes I'll do everything in a class such as:

A:hover.not { blah }

A:hover.bottom { blah }

to eliminate any kind of whackiness.

I use software called "TopStyle" which is really cool for making stylesheets.

Good Luck.
