Behaviors problems in expression - 7/19/2007 14:02:05   
Im trying to get my hyperlinks to underline and change colour but they won't work. Sometimes they do work but it says error in the bottom left hand corner of IE7.

When I highlight the text I want to to change the formatting I then click in to behaviors and add the tab change proptery and then change proptery restore.

Works fine in frontpage 2003 but not in expression.

One thing too, I seem to be missing autoshapes from expression web and preview mode which is in frontpage2003


any ideas?

=================

Ok I got it why the behaviors didn't work for some reason when I clicked on medium font expression didn't like it so when I typed it 14pt it worked fine.

Only problem I am having now is that I just want my text too be hightlighted when the mouse moves over it or my hyperlinks. I can do it in a table layer or p in expression but just highlighting the text there dosen't seem to be a way of doing it just for the text.

==============================

Expression Web tries to do more things in a compliant way. Chances are, the "FP" way created some bloated code.

If you post the code, or URL we might be able to help you out some more.

I'd be careful about causing a hover effect on anything that's not a link - it'll be confusing for people for a start and for seconds IE only allows hover effects on links without lots of finessing.

For normal links you add link styles to the stylesheet like this:
a:link {color:blue; text-decoration:underline;}
a:visited {color:green; text-decoration:underline;}
a:focus, a:hover, a:active {color:red; text-decoration:underline;}


Obviously the colours can be changed to what you want. Try to avoid using PT to size text - it's really only for print. Use % or ems instead. Try around 76% in the body element rule to give an average sized font throughout the page - then you can add individual font sizing where necessary to other rules.
