NJHoya Posts: 3 Joined: 6/24/2003 Status: offline	How to Remove Hyperlink Formatting? - 6/24/2003 19:14:00 I am trying to make some specifically formatted text into a hyperlink without giving it that traditional hypelink " underline" look. I want the word to remain Bold, Gray and not look like a hyperlink per se. I will give it a rollover format once I figure this problem out. I have gone to Page Properties and changed the hyperlink status colors, but I still can' t make the underline disappear. Font formatting doesn' t seem to work either once it has become a hyperlink. Thank you in advance for helping me with this! - R

Had you considered using a hover button. They will make your site a little slower and have some issues as far as changeability. I' m sure you had already thought about this... just don' t pay attention to me, I' ll go sit in the corner. (in reply to NJHoya)

R,

I think CSS is the way to go. It' s really not that difficult. Look at http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/m_40091/appid_/p_/mpage_1/key_underline%252Clinks/tmode_/smode_/s_/tm.htm#40092

Not if you set up different classes for different styles. See the above thread.

FP hover buttons are not stable. Avoid them if possible.

That will change all the link, which is not, I think, what you have in mind.

CSS is the way to go.

Read up on the links others have offered, but for a quick fix, try this:

STEP ONE

Paste this in before the </head> tag in html view (paste from here to Notepad, then into FP):

<style type=" text/css" >
a.gray:link {font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #808080}
a.gray:visited {font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #808080}
a.gray:hover {font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #cc0000}
a.gray:active {font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #cc0000}
</style>

STEP TWO

Find your link in HTML view (highlight it first in normal view, then switch views). It will look something like this:

<a href=" thepage.htm" >Link Text</a>

Edit that to read:

<a class=" gray" href=" thepage.htm" >Link Text</a>

And that should do the trick! It will give you bold gray text, red on mouseover. You can of course edit the colors to suit.

Welcome to the wonderfulworld of CSS!!!
