Disabling Link Underline and Color Change

Hi --

On a site I'm creating I have the sub-navigation along the left hand side of
each page that I've created using a small table in DW and simple text.

How do I make it work so that when a user hovers over one of the links (and
after it is clicked) it neither changes color nor has the underline.

Any help is appreciated.
John

Hi John,

You need to add CSS styles for the link states. Get the CSS dialog box by
clicking on text>css styles>new. Click the this document only button under
Define in if you only want this applied to the page you're working on. Click
on the Advanced button under selector type. The pop-up menu by Selector will
now list the four link states. Select one, click OK, then in the type dialog
box that comes up, click none for decoration (gets rid of the underline) and
select your desired text color. Repeat for all link states. You can probably
get by with less--just click none for decoration on a:hover and your desired
text color for a:visited.

If you want this to apply to multiple pages, you can create a CSS style sheet
with these changes and link it to your pages.

Hope that's clear--I'm a newbie too, but I have gotten this to work for me.

John:

Pseudo-classes and container styles are what you need - here are some
tutorials.

These will show you how to have multiple link styles on the same page.

Does this mean you don't want a hover effect on visited links? You could
achieve this by simply changing the order of the pseudo-classes in your
stylesheet to

:link
:hover
:visited
:active

With the above the :visited pseudo-class will override the :hover.

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body

a:link { color: FFFFFF; text-decoration: none;
}
-->
</style>
