Beginner Question

[Stephen]

Can I reference another style as a definition for a style?

Such as...

..footerlink { font-size: 9px;}
..headerlink { font-size: .footerlink.fontsize }

.... so that I can just change the .footerlink font size and
automatically change the .headerlink font size?

Can I do this for color and other attributes?

No. It would be useful, but you can't do it in CSS.

No, try this:

.headerlink, .footerlink { font-size: 9px;}
.footerlink { color: green;}
.headerlink { color: red;}

Only without the 9px, if you please. See
