Hello all

Is there a way for me to have links on my web page that are 2 different colours? On my site, I want the main navigation links white but the links throughout the text on the page a dark blue colour? Sorry if this is a stupid question, all my HTML and Dreamweaver knowledge is self taught so I'm no expert!

Anyhoo, I can only seem to set one link colour for the page in Dreamweaver.

Also, can you make an image a link to an email?

Thanks a zillion
Sarah xx

Hi Sarah,

Within Dreamweaver, you should just be able to highlight the links and change the colour of them in the 'Properties' box at the bottom of the screen.

With regard to the email link, you can click on the image and then in the 'Properties' box at the bottom of the screen, in the 'Link' box, just type in 'mailto:sarah@miskellaneous.co.uk' or whatever your email address is (without the punctuation). If the person clicking on the image has Outlook, it will automatically open up a new message

Hope that helps.

Julie

I'm sure one of the coding guy's will be along to help - but I know on my sites the link colours are set in the stylesheet.

This is one way to do it.

HTML Code:

<a href="www.domain1.com"><font color="#FF0000">Anchor Text1</font></a> <a href="www.domain2.com"><font color="#00FF00">Anchor Text2 
</font></a>

Hi Sarah,

Just as an aside, the link to your homepage from within your profile has a typo in it and is not working.

It will if you highlight half the word then change the colour then highlight the other half and change it.

example for links hightlight nks change then li change .

It wont let you change it because the links are set in modify-page properties.
