Category list box contents - change link bg colour

Hello I want to change the background colour of the link text in the category list box contents.To look like the image below:

I have tried to style the links in css but it affects all ez pages links.
Example of what I did:
.categoryListBoxContents a:link, {background-color:#ffffff;
}

So then, do I alter modules/category_row.php file?
if so would it be this( line 38) that I edit and if so how do I write it in?

$list_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('params' => 'class="categoryListBoxContents"' . ' ' . 'style="width:' . $col_width . '%;"'

Any help appreciated.

When asking styling questions, a link to the page is much more useful than a screenshot.

I am working on a local machine using xampp didn't know I could post a link to it.
Here is the link I use in my browser http://www.example.com/thai_restaurant/

Even if someone could tell me how to add a class to the links for the category list box contents. I think that would work.

Ok figured it out. For anyone else trying this, it was possible to style this using css.
Looks like my above syntax was wrong. What does work for me is:
.categoryListBoxContents a:link{background-color:#FFFFFF;
}

Not too different from the earlier mentioned code just removed the comma.
Hope this helps someone :smile:

Sorry, we can't see a link on your local machine. That will make it trickier for us to advise. You say > Example of what I did:

.categoryListBoxContents a:link, {background-color:#ffffff;
} Is that exactly what you did? There is a comma after the one selector that will invalidate the rule. Make it

.categoryListBoxContents a:link {background-color:#ffffff;
}
``` and see what happens. This rule can only affect links inside the categoryListBoxContents element.


Glad you got it fixed:)

Ah ok, Thanks for the input. Am ever grateful as ever gih42 :smile:
