Hyperlink rollover effects

D

Don

I am having trouble making hyperlink rollover effects work as enabled in
page properties, background.

The webpage (index.html) has 3 frames. Left, right top(rtop), & right
bottom (rbottom). Navigation is done in the left frame, there is a title is
in the rtop frame which never changes, and the rbottom frame displays
content as clicked in the left frame. I do have some hyperlinks in the
pages displayed in rbottom.

Each page has been configured to have hyperlink rollover effects enabled.
Problem is, the rollover effects only work in the page in the rbottom frame.
This is good except that I would like the rollover effects to also work in
the left frame which is intended to be the primary navigation.

What am I doing wrong?

Switch to HTML view, them make sure each of your three
pages contains a line like this in its <head> section.

<style fprolloverstyle>A:hover {color: red; font-weight:
bold} </style>

Thank you. The rollover effects work... sort of. When I created the links,
I did not want the default blue underlined text. Instead, I changed the
text to the color I wanted and removed the underline.

When I set up the rollover effect, I selected the color and weight (bold)
that I wanted. Now, the rollover effect is simply to bold the text.. no
color change. However, I did some experimentation and found that if I leave
the link at the default blue underline, the rollover effects work perfectly.

It seems to me that the rollover effect should work regardless of the links
color.

The following combination works on my system:

<style>
A {color:red; text-decoration:none}
</style>

<style fprolloverstyle>A:hover {font-weight: bold}
</style>

The first style is a normal stylesheet; the second one is from the
Page Properties, Background, RolloverStyle setting.
