Question

Right, so I have specified that default links be a certain colour (color: #696), I wanted this to turn all unspecified links that colour, but the problem is, I have a menubar, and on this menu bar I have items with the class of navbtn, these navbtns have a color of #90F, but even though I have specified that class’s color, the body’s link color still remains parent,

I want the navbtn to have the text colour of #90F not the #696 that I specified.
My CSS:

a:link {
    color: #696;
    font-weight: bold;
}

a:visited {
    color: #0C3;
}

.navbtn {
    display: block;
    width: 198px;
    height: 35px;
    float:left;
    border-left: 1px solid #CCC;
    border-right: 1px solid #CCC;
    text-align: center;
    line-height: 35px;
    font-size: 18px;
    background-image: url(../global-images/navbtnbg.png);
    color: #09F;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-weight: bold;
}
