Hi sjd333 welcome to the forum

If all you want to to do is style certain links, all you need to do can be done with CSS

> **[Attribute selectors - CSS | MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Selectors/Attribute_selectors)**
>
> The CSS attribute selector matches elements based on the element having a given attribute explicitly set, with options for defining an attribute value or substring value match.
