Hyperlink Underline Question

B

Bob L

I'm using FP 2000 and would like modify the appearance of the hyperlinks on
my website. Currently, the links appear with an underline for normal ,
active, and followed links. I'd like only the active link to have an
underline and normal and followed links to not have an underline.

I see plenty of website that are like this. Is this possible in FP 2000?

Hi Bob L,

I have learnt how to do this :) I am feeling pleased because I am a
newcomer to websites.

What you need to do in is create a style sheet. It is just a text file; call
it, for example style.css

In it place thee lines
a:link {color:blue text-decoration:none}
a:visited {color:fuchsia text-decoration:none}
a:active {color:mediumblue text-decoration:none}
a:hover {color:mediumblue text-decoration:none}

These refer to what the hyperlink looks like under different conditions.
The color you specify for each can be what you like.

Then in the <head> section of each HTML file, place the statement:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">

I jumped in too soon - re-reading your post, I see that you don't want all
to be not underlined so the code should read (I think)

a:link {color:blue text-decoration:none}
a:visited {color:fuchsia text-decoration:none}
a:active {color:mediumblue text-decoration:underline}
a:hover {color:mediumblue text-decoration:none}

I am not sure what you want for hover - you may want underline also.

You can see the choices for text decoration here:
