title: How to apply CSS styles to links that appear in table headers?
body: <p>I would like to apply CSS styles to links that appear in column headers in my web page.  I have added the following to my CSS:</p>
  
  <pre><code>thead tr td a { color: White; }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, my links are still the standard blue (purple when followed) color.</p>
  
  <p>A link in a column header is an anchor tag embedding in a <code>td</code> tag embedded in a <code>tr</code> tag which is embedded in a <code>thead</code> tag, right?</p>
  
  <p>Why isn't my CSS producing the desired result?</p>
  
  <p><b>Update:</b><br/>Interestingly, this doesn't work either: all links on the page are still blue and purple.</p>
  
  <pre><code>a { color: white; }
  a:hover { color: white; }
  a:visited { color: white; }
  a:active { color: white; } 
  </code></pre>
