Hyperlink question

Guest

I have several area with text that is "hyperlinked". The text is now blue.
I would like it to turn white when the mouse passes over it without clicking
it. Can I do this easily. It must be here somewhere....

Hi Scott,

You'll need to utilize JavaScript to accomplish or you may wish to look at J-Bots Mouse Over Style behavior.

Which FP are you using? Do you find anything when you search in the Help
files for "pseudo-classes"?

Click to expand...

If the link is a <a> tag (what else could it be, I ask myself ?), add a
style in the <head>
<style type="text/css">
a:hover {color:white}
</style>

Note of course that you need a non-white background - white on white is
rather illegible ;-))

<style type="text/css">
a:hover {color:white;}
</style>

Will work better.... 8)
(I put in the ; )
Just incase they try copy paste

Interesting, John

Sure, I usually add the ; but when there is only one paramater, I understand
it is not necesary - it is merely a separator between the elements in the
style. (Sorry if I am not using the correct syntax for: "elements in the
style". My meaning should be clear )

Does anyone disagree with the statement: "when there is only one paramater,
I understand it is not necesary " ?

You might be right but when I use my CSS editor TOP Style it will insert it
if I don't.
So I figured it had to be there...
Wait... a test is what we need!
Made a quick page and tried it both ways.
Your way works too!

No - you are correct, but it's still bad practice to eliminate it. I have
found that a surprisingly large percentage of my one-style rules morph into
multiple-style rules over time, and the omitted semicolon is a bug waiting
to happen.... 8)

From an amateur.
I wondered what you meant??

But now I see
body
{
a hover: text-color: white;
}

should be
body
{
a hover: color: white;
}

Andrew,
I always thought you were an expert.

But we all make mistakes ;-))
