I set hyperlink colors in Page Properties using FP 2002.
When I send this page by e-mail using Outlook, the colors
revert to the default. Any ideas?
 
Hi Sandra,

The Page Properties add attributes to the body tag of the web page which is not used in HTML email. Use in-line styles instead.
 
I've tried that too. Also, I RECEIVE an e-mail which has
the colors defined in the Page Properties, and they show
just fine. When I save the code for this file and send
it to myself again, the colors have reverted to the
default and the rollovers do not work.

Thanks for replying. Any other ideas?

What series of steps are you using in Outlook?

The following procedure usually gets the best results:

1. Publish the page to your hosted Web server.
2. Use IE to Browse the page from your hosted Web server.
3. Choose File, Send, Page by E-Mail.
4. Address the message and click send.

An e-mail reader like Outlook, however, is a much
different environment than a Web browser. If, to display
properly, your page is dependent on scripts or certain
kinds of external resources you probably won't get the
results you want. Instead, you'll have to tweak your HTML
code.
