Hi All,

Can someone help me with some html code for links...


What I am after is

1) To have a text link not be blue and have a line
under it

2) To have the box change color when the mouse
pointer moves over it

If you go to this site .....

I need the navigational boxes on the left to
do this.

Thank you

Arcadia

There are two ways to go about this:

The first to actually make the link a different color and make the box change color. Making the link a different color is pretty easy. All you do is insert this chunk of code into the body tag:

link="#3366FF"

So your body tag may look like:

The number is the RGB color for the link. For info on how RGB works and how to find the number on the color you want (if you need it) check out this site: http://www.htmlcenter.com/tutorials/tutorials.cfm?id=89

Furthermore, you can change a few other aspects fo a text link by putting either of these into the body tag as well:

alink="#000000"
vlink="#000000"

The one with an a is the color of the link when it's being clicked and I believe v is the color of the link when the user has already been to that page (not sure on v, but a little experimentation can answer that question).

Now, making the box change color is a difficult thing to do that will require a little javascript. Therefore, I reccommend you either disregard changing box color, or create images for the boxes and use rollovers.

The boxes seem to be pretty fixed in size. Make an image with the exact size of the box with the text you want inside, the way it should look before a mouse rolls over it. Then make a duplicate image, exactly the same in size, for what the image should look like when the mouse rolls over it.

From there, you can use this page to help you: http://www.htmlcenter.com/tutorials/tutorials.cfm?id=79

A rollover may look complicated, but making a table change its cell color is more of a headache. Trust me.

If you need any further help feel free to email me at chris@reality-syndicate.com . Good luck!

Hi Guys,

I think this may be a bit more than I can
handle... with the limited brain cells.....

Could I ask here.... would someone take on
a make-over of my site for getting their name
mentioned in my ezine.... 1124 members.. and
a link on my site (7,000 per month) for a time
period to do the work....

Do people like this hang around here?

Thanks for the help

Arcadia

I'm already doing such a thing for two other sites and would love to help out. Of course, all I ask in return, is a little linkage.

I'll email you with my details and we get started!
