Simple ? Hyperlink style question |
|---|
| message from Colin MacDougall on 20 Jul 2004 |
I'm new to using Dreamweaver - so the answer to my question
might be very simple.
I have set up a few hyperlinks on a basic webpage. The link
is underlined as usual and also changes colour when it has
been visited. How can I stop these hyperlinks being underlined
and is it possible to prevent them from changing colour ? In
other words the only way to recognise that they are hyperlinks
is to mouse-over them and look for the pointer to change.
TIA, Colin

I notice that you are a NEW user to Dreamwewaver...as I am. Ive been working
with it for about a month now. I dont know hardly ANYTHING about code and when
people say to me...use CSS, I get this far off look in my eyes, and wonder what
in the @#$# they are talking about. I now know a LITTLE about CSS, but I
still wonder...if I paid $400 DOLLARS FOR THIS PROGRAM...why dont I let it do
some work for me?
Anyway the answer to your question is this....
Go up to the top of the DW (dreamweaver) window with whatever page you are
working on open. Find the MODIFY tab. Click on that and click on the first
selection of the drop down menu which is PAGE PROPERTIES. You will see a
window that pops up...on the left hand side of the window is a white window
with "appearance" "links" "headings" etc.. Click on the LINKS. Here you will
see all of the things you can do to change the properties of the links on your
page. Whatever style you give to the links on your page here will apply to
EVERY link on this page. You can change the colors, rollover colors, visited
colors, underlining, etc.
It will pay off to learn CSS styling etc, as Ive found out, but go one step at
a time.

Method described works but it's far better to use CSS (Cascading Style
Sheets). that way, you can not only change the "primary" colour links,
but have several different styles per page! Say all hypertext has no
underlines within main content but navigation has underline & is purple
by default.
Learning how to change the hyperlinks is the first step to some exciting
other changes you can do to improve the appearance of web pages.

I would be the FIRST to agree with your statement raizel. Unfortunately, Im
STILL not sure how to do it. ID LOVE to learn, but until then Im stuck doing
it the way I know how. With someone who is JUST learning DW, I would say walk
before you run. (I know I know CSS isnt really running). If Colin does indeed
know code better than me...by all means...do it with CSS. I was just trying to
explain how to do it if you didnt know how to do that. And like me, if someone
doesnt know... it will come in time. But until then.......
