I am using CS6 Dreamweaver
the hover colour isn't working
is this a bug in the program or is their a work around
Hover colour is set to red.link colour is set to black
there is no hover colour change to red with mouse over.
I am using a:hover CSS

Sorry, but I fail to see a connection between using DWCS6 and a CSS property. Perhaps it is an idea to share your creation so that we are able to observe this phenomenon. Do this by providing a link to your site.

Also I would like the current page name say "home" to be coloured when the page is being viewed.
Can you suggest how to do this?

There are a number of ways to achieve this, ranging from comparing the URL of the page to the link for your menu items, to in-line styling. The best way for us to advise you is to supply a link to your site.

PS Love the correct spelling of colour. Even in CSS we are forced to use incorrect spelling.

Please put a DOCTYPE on your page

Life will be easier with a single CSS stylesheet

Link pseudoclasses CSS must be in this order

link

visited

hover

active

Nancy has a simple tutorial on how to have your link color indicate the current page

http://alt-web.com/Articles/Persistent-Page-Indicator.shtml

With a 1084px page width you are throwing the much hated horizontal scrollbar putting your right column links off the screen

I like 980, max 1000.

Although screens are getting wider, it's the viewport that counts

Cheers

Tried the tutorial but as I didn't set up page templates for this small site I got thrown at the last hurdle.

thought you might like to know I did my first website about 14 years ago using pagemill

a bit of a mess but I can't stand to pull it down

and have been dabbling ever since - I have avoided CSS til now but thanks to you have started the journey.

Great help much appreciated.

You don't need Templates for persistent menu highlighting. You just need CSS and ability to edit the <body> tag in code view. That's all there is to it.
