Answer 1

You could do this by using "data-" attributes to identify the container(s) then using jQuery change CSS class of the link, like the following:

                    

                        
@Html.ActionLink("About", "About", "Home")
                        
@Html.ActionLink("Contact", "Contact", "Home")
