Link problem

1

hello all!

I’m trying to figure this out and my brain has just about had it so I need
some help. It’s probably the easiest thing but some times when I add a link to certain words and I go in page properties to set the link color, the roll over color. Once I do that I hit ok, then when i go to test it in Internet Explorer the links I have set are in a different color, but the roll over color is the right color, just no the link color. But when i click on them then they go to the color I want them to be. My question is why are they changing colors from what i set them as??? thanks for your time

make sure you’ve fiddled with the “visited” setting for your links.

me thinks that your links don’t link anywhere yet (<a href=""></a>) which technically points to the page you’re already on, which makes the links go into the “visited” state

My guess would be because you don’t have a “active” or “visited” color set the same as your “link” color so your probably seeing one of those.

For your links you should have at least 3 styles in your CSS:


a:link {
  color: #xxxxxx;
}

a:visited {
  color: #xxxxxx;
}

a:hover {
  color: #xxxxxx;
}

…of course what seems in your case, you might want to make the “visited” color the same as your “link” color.

Hope this helps! :thumb2:

Edit: sigh…

I have the link color a green then the roll over a bit lighter green, then the visited and active colors are the some. But when I test it the link color is bright blue

Can you post some code?

Yea, you probably have a typo in your CSS or somethign

*edit: :lol: @ your *sigh, red

Is this all you need???

a:link {
color: 6688bb;
text-decoration: none;}
a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #6688bb;
}
a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
color: #8CBF73;
}
a:active {
text-decoration: none;
color: #6688bb;

Your missing your # on the link color:


a:link {
color: **[COLOR="Red"]#[/COLOR]**6688bb;
text-decoration: none;}

That will work, you will just have to change some of the properties such as the color, to fit your needs. Insert it in between the <style> </style> tags in the head of your document.
