Hyper Linked Text Font Color - 12/28/2008 21:53:21
In the left column on this page, the "Shop Talk" template color for hyperlinked text (e. g. Indiana State Fairgrounds) does not show up well on the dictated background color. How do I change the font color for hyperlinked text in this column?

Shop Talk is a theme and certain changes including regular, active and followed hyperlink colors are possible by:
Format >>Theme >> Select shoptalk1 >>Customize >>Colors >>Custom, then Item (e.g. 4 hyperlinks shown).

I am not familiar with the templates, but you could also try using your external style sheet.
http://www.indylargescaler.org/style.css
Open the stylesheet using FP or Notepad and add the following:
A:link.alt1 { color:#FFFFFF; text-decoration:none }
A:visited.alt1 { color:#FFFFFF; text-decoration:none }
A:active.alt1 { color:#FFFFFF; text-decoration:none }
A:hover.alt1 { color:#000000; text-decoration:none }
Then in the html add class="alt1" between the "a" and "href" in the hyperlink.
<font color="#ffffff" size="3" face="Arial"><b>Jan 3, 4, 2009</b><br>
Modular Show at the
<a class="alt1" href="http://www.greattrainexpo.com/">Indiana State Fairgrounds</a><br>
Set up is Jan 2 at 1pm</font>
Hope that helps, Ed

ed - remember links need to be in this order
A:link.alt1 { color:#FFFFFF; text-decoration:none }
A:visited.alt1 { color:#FFFFFF; text-decoration:none }
A:hover.alt1 { color:#000000; text-decoration:none }
A:active.alt1 { color:#FFFFFF; text-decoration:none }

Larry,
In your example, I like the fact that the hyperlinks in the header and the "Section 1, etc" list are still white. How did you limit the bright green to just the "Indiana State Fairgrounds" link?

Just fool around with the Theme settings until you get what you want - might be advisable to use a "scratch copy" for the practice runs.
In the instance of the bright green Indiana State Fairgrounds hyperlink, I changed the followed (visited) color after inputting the text and converting it to a link. I changed the theme regular hyperlink color to bright blue as well.

I believe these are controlled by re-coding the external style sheet file - good advice about this process by Dave and EdgeAgain. My suggestion is not to fiddle with this if the Theme changes do the job.

d a v e and EdgeAgain - thanks, but I am not quite up to getting into the html.
Larry -
The "Sample of Themes" on the "Themes" page shows the new colors that I picked for hyperlinks but nothing changed on the web pages. How exactly did you apply the new color to just one link? My Themes page has an "All Pages" or "Selected pages" option (the latter I can't get to respond). I don't see a method to apply the new color to a specific link.
Thanks,
David

I just changed the ShopTalk template home page hyperlinks and Navigation Buttons to blue and back to pink by selecting:

Hi Larry,
Now that I am a whole year smarter, I decided to get this thing working. From the image below, you can see that the Theme page clearly shows that I have changed the various hyperlink texts to three different colors. However, nothing has changed on the Home page. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
David
For those following along to solve this same problem, maybe it is an MS FrontPage Version 2000 anomaly, or maybe just something more experienced users take for granted, but the problem with all the above can be traced to the four little boxes in the bottom left corner of the above screen print. The second box is "Active Graphics" and was checked already and I left it that way. The fourth (last) box is "Apply Using CSS". That appears to me to be an option that I don't understand and I have not been checking it. Today I decided to try it and that worked. After I checked that box, the hyperlinks in the body of the site have changed to my specified colors (incidentally, I dumped the yellow shown). The header and contents panel are unaffected.
