Text link without blue colour

Dec 6, 2006 2:45 AM

I have some small images on my site that are links to files and after the image I have some text.
Example “(image for pdf) download pdf file here”
I want the text to link to the same place as the image but I do not want the text to appear blue on my page.
How do I keep my text colour but still have a link?
Thanks

You need 2 different styles for links - so pseudoclasses is what you are
after...

Redefine your links in your css.
Add this to your css and have a look at how it works.
a:link {
font-family: "Courier New", Courier, mono;
color: #339966;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
font-family: "Courier New", Courier, mono;
color: #FF0000;
text-decoration: underline;
}

If your page is in DIVs, then you can have more fun with different link styles on different parts of ther page.

In Fireworks, set the Canvas size tall enough to accommodate the image and your text. Import the image (from My Pictures), press the Enter key then Enter your text. Export the file to your Dreamweaver images folder. In Dreamweaver, create a Layer set to the same size as the Fireworks Canvas. Insert the composite image (original image plus text) into the Layer. Use Property Inspector to assign a Link to the composite image.

Click inside the text that is blue. Go to the properties section and click on PAGE PROPERTIES. Then go to LINKS (CSS) Here you have options for the color of the text that is a link, what color it changes to when you rollover, what color it changes to once visited and if to get rid of underlines etc also.. It is an entire page option section though so what you change here is same for all links text on the page.. you have to repeat this also for any other pages in your website.

Using this section creates the required CSS for you automatically which is the purpose of much of the design of Dreamweaver after all
