Hyperlink Rollover Effect

[njordan100]

I have FP 2002.

My website has a link bar made with a simple table with about 20 different
links. I have chosen all the text in the links to be black. I am trying
to enable the hyperlink rollover effect with the effect to be red, however
when viewing the page in the preview pane, some of the links have captured
the color, others haven't. I am enabling this individually in all the
pages. What could be wrong?

Thanks-
Norma

first, the reason some of them haven't taken the color you specified is
because they're visited links. they'll look different unless you say so.
secondly, what you should do is make a style sheet. it's not that hard, you
can do it with notepad. save it to your web then click format/ style sheet
links and select it. this'll make all your links and other formatting refer
to the style sheet.
I'm going to post some stuff that'll give you an example of how it'll look.
I'll also put some colored scrollbars there too (they're ie only 5.5+).

HTH:

a:link{
background: transparent;
color: #CEAA4A;
font-size: medium;
font-weight: bolder;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:visited{
background: transparent;
color: #CEAA4A;
font-size: medium;
font-weight: bolder;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover{
background: transparent;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: medium;
font-weight: bolder;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:active{
background: transparent;
color: #CEAA4A;
font-size: medium;
font-weight: bolder;
text-decoration: none;
}

body {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: medium;
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #937DC1;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #937DC1;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #A33534;
scrollbar-base-color: #937DC1;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #937DC1;
scrollbar-face-color: #937DC1;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #937DC1;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #A33534;
scrollbar-track-color: #937DC1;
}

Thanks, Chris-

Looks like I have some homework to do.
I did format the link colors, the visited link colors and also the active
hyperlinks, to all be one color thinking I could avoid the mix up, but guess
not so.

Also, thank you for the examples!

if the links aren't specified in the exact order I gave them to you in it'll
cause problems.
