Popup Links with Specific Text Color

[skolts]

I'm using Robohelp HTML 8, and I'm having a difficult time figuring out if I can assign a specific color to the popup links in my project. My first thought was that the Text-only popup hotspot character style in the default CSS would handle this, but this is not happening. My regular topics use the default.css, while my popups use a different CSS.

I also noticed that the HTML does not even reference this character style for the popup. Because the popup link is in a procedure, the HTML references the paragraph style (List-1) but that's it (as far as I can tell at least). Here is the HTML in question:

<li class="List-1">While viewing the <span style="font-style: italic;">Intersections</span> tab, click the appropriate <a href="javascript:BSSCPopup('Popup_Street_Map_Buttons.htm');" id="a1">Street<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><span>Map</span> button</a> to display the integrated map.</li>

I had defined the following style in the default CSS:

A.popupspot {
color: #003f00;
}

However, Robohelp doesn't reference this style in the above HTML. I have to think this is possible, but my mind is drawing a blank on how to get these popup links to display in dark green (003f00). I inspected the link element in Firefox--to see if this style was being overridden somehow, but that style is not referenced in Firefox either, as expected. I've also deleted the Text-only popup hotspot style from the CSS file and then redefined it in Robohelp, with no success.

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? Please let me know if I can provide additional helpful information. Thank you.

The code "BSSCPopup" indicates the link you are using is a hyperlink displaying as an autosizing popup, not a Text Only Popup, which is something different again.

I believe the link colour is defined by the "Hyperlink" styles. These styles also control the regular (non-popup) hyperlinks, though so you'd be changing both at once. In the CSS they'd be plain A definitions, or maybe something like A:active, A:visited, etc.

You might be able to do what you want by creating a new Character style and manually applying it to any hyperlinks that you make a popup style.
