I'm having difficulty getting my HYPERLINKS configured to AUTOMATICALLY
display in a contrasting color or with a contrasting style so they stand out
from the body copy well. I can nudge them individually, of course, but how
do I set the defaults differently? I've configured the PAGE PROPERTIES but
they still default to BLACK.

Check this page:
http://home.comcast.net/~tb0yd/DiveTravel.html

In the bulleted copy (below) you can see the links nicely here, but not on
the site. (YES, I didn't even nudge them manually to contrast yet. Let's say
I'm adjusting things as we speak. <G>)
a.. The Cayman Islands (Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, Cayman Brac)

b.. Monterey/Carmel

c.. The Channel Islands

d.. EPCOT Center - DiveQuest

I should fess up and say that I CAPTURED a website format I liked and then
made my tables to match and changed things here and there. Have I captured
some CSS or other formatting that I've not purged properly?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Tim

To use page properties to set your hyperlink colors, you must make sure that the link's text font
color is set to automatic.

If you want a specific color, that is different from the setting in page properties, you must make
sure the link text is set to automatic first, then you set a specific color, however the link ignore
the visited and active link colors set in page properties.

Hey Tim,

Dunno if you're using a CSS editor or not but this may help you if you are not:

Thanks "Crash",

I haven't invested much in CSS, but every now and then, when I'm caught
climbing over a CSS 'boulder', I almost get enough 'religion' to work
through a tutorial.

Thanks for the Topstyle link. Maybe this will get my engines started.

ALL you guys on this group are GREAT! You too Thomas; thanks for the info.

Thanks,
T

Follow upQ's:

I have another site where, in FP display, I see hyperlinks with automatic
underlines, and they show that way when I open the page on the Internet.
Further, the Hyperlinks not visited show as DARKER colored and once visited
as LIGHTER in color; both still underlined. I THINK this is the proper way,
and certainly how I'd like to have them shown. --- The site referenced below
does not display that way, and I'm viewing both from the same PC with the
same browser.

The screwy site shows the links as simply BLACK text (seems right since I
CAN'T get the FORMATTING tab to get off BLACK), and there is NO HOVER
behavior on the screwy site and only inconsistent HOVER behavior (RED TEXT)
on the proper site.

The page property FORMATTING tab difs are:

underlining site:

Background: Auto
Text: Auto
Hyperlink: dark color
Visited Hyperlink: lighter color
Active Hyperlink: Auto

The non-underlining site:

Background: Auto
Text: Black
Hyperlink: dark color
Visited Hyperlink: lighter color
Active Hyperlink: Auto

No matter how many times (OK more than 2 is stupid) I change the second's
TEXT field to AUTO and OK, it reverts to BLACK. Grrrrrr!

Last, Thomas, how do I set a font for a HYPERLINK to a SPECIFIC COLOR when I
already have it set for AUTOMATIC? I must be a bit thick on this part. Do
you mean AUTOMATIC on the PAGE PROPS and SPECIFIC on the FONT for the LINK
only? Difficult if I can't get the FORMATTING tab off BLACK. <G>

Any additional thoughts folks?

Thanks,
Tim

Remove any style references on the page and use an external style sheet.

Here's an example page that uses a style sheet to manage link colors.
www.95isalive.com

here's the style sheet that does it.
www.95isalive.com/95.css
It will also be in your browser cache files after you open the site.

AH HA, that gave me an idea. (still don't have a good grasp of CSS though
<G>)

Was there a CSS Stylesheet that was OVERRIDING my changes.

I'm using JAlbum and it had attached a STYLESHEET to ALL my pages, not just
the album pages. I was able to go in an remove the sheet from my text pages,
leaving it for the JAlbum pages. Things look MUCH better.

Funny, I use JAlbum on the other site too and it didn't do that. I'll bet
I'm using an updated ver of JAlbum or album style now and it performs
differently.

Thanks to all!

Steve, you ARE the man today!

To follow-up on Crash's suggestion, what you are trying to do is exactly
what CSS dos best. the only trick to getting your links to display properly
in the various states is to make sure your line pseudo classes are in the
correct order of:
a { text-decoration: none;}
a:link { color: #9400D3;}
a:visited { color: #FFE4E1;}
a:active { color: #9400D3;}
a:hover { color: Fuchsia;}

Change the colors to suit your needs. I just picked some colors at random
and used one Named color as an example.
