(2) Questions on Links - 10/3/2002 16:07:49
Question 1
I was just wondering, when using frontpage 2000 and you set a word as a link it automatically underlines it. How do you prevent it from undelining the text?
Question 2
How do you do rollovers with text on frontpage 2000?
Thanks!

Easy plugin for the underline links

Rollovers with text, you mean the text changes format on a mouseover?

JR,
Regarding question number 1. Why in the world would you want to place a link on the site and then not let people know it was there.
I have a back function on my trackball, and I would be away from your site as soon as possible. Don' t mess with your viewers!

Thanks Guys!
And I know what you mean Charles, but I was just wondering if it could be done. Also for the rollover text, yes, how do you make it rollover when the mouse hovers over the text (which is linked)
Thanks Again!
JR

Here' s a very simple way to do it (CSS). Change the colors, font, and size to fit your needs.
<style type=" text/css" >
<--
A { font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; }
A:link { color: #000000 } A:visited { color: #000000 }
A:hover { color: #999999 } A:active { color: #FF6800 }
-->
</style>
Simple explanation:
font-family:
(choose your font here - Arial, Times New Roman, etc.,)
font-size:
(choose your font size here - 10pt, 12pt, etc.,)
text-decoration:
(choose how you want the hover to look - none (no underline), underline)
color:
(the HEX numbers for the colors you want to use)

As I was reading this post I was going to suggest CSS as a way to accomplish everyhting you wanted to do, and then Seventh steals my thunder. I agree that you have to be sure your audience knows which is a link and which is not. Blue underlined text is the de-facto link standard; not that you can' t use something else, but be sure you' re not leaving your site visitors in the lurch wondering how to navigate your site by doing so.
Also, it is worth pointing out that the latest version of FP is very good at integrating one CSS into all existing pages of your website with ease. Go to " Format>style" to build your CSS and then " Format>style sheet links" to apply the CSS to all pages in your website. Easy!
Phil

Great thread. I am relatively new to site design with a background that is more " artistic" father than a programming background.
Charles pondered, [:j] " Why in the world would you want to place a link on the site and then not let people know it was there. "
I' ve completed a couple of sites where it' s pretty obvoius that the non-underlined text is a link, but, purely from an aestetic (not functional ) standpoint, it sometimes looks cleaner without the underline.
For example, you can check out http://www.brattlerealestate.com . I tried the left nav bar WITH underlines, and it took away from the feel of the site.
I ask you to keep in mind that this is just one mans " artistic opinion..."
Cheers,
David
