is it possible to set different link colors? that you have an area with a class discription for links which ignore the default preference link settings.

the best way to do this is to add style definitions to the stylesheet skin and then just refer to these special styles from each link you set. (disclaimer: I'm not an expert in style sheet matters.)

(ps: that backlink below is mine. just came here while regression testing the newest helma features and felt like trying to answer your question ;-)
