Font

[teddkilroy]

Almost completed a site and I am having problems changing font color blue to
black. In split view using frontpage 2003, it appears black. However, in
preview it comes up blue.

This is my first site and was wondering if there was a global setting I am
missing? If I open index.htm with IE and scroll through the pages every text
is in blue.

Any ideas?

I've noticed something like this before, and I'm curious about it too. On a
webpage I frequent in Firefox, the text is black, but in IE, at least the
older versions, it comes up pink. It doesn't seem to have problems in IE 7.0
though. Have you tried previewing it in there?

I would also like to know how to fix this, as I'll probably run into the
same difficulties later on. So I'll second you on that question teddkilroy.

What's the URL so we can take a look? Did you set the text color in a style
/ stylesheet or in the body tag?

Is it a hyperlink?

 

[teddkilroy]

I don't have it up yet, it will be replacing the one that is already up. When
I highlight some text that I want to make black I view the following under
code view:

<span style="text-decoration: none">

Is this what you we're asking?

 

[David Berry]

That code uses CSS. Can you paste the rest of the code for the page into a
reply so we can see what else is going on? You may be using CSS to tell the
text it's a hyperlink with no underline (even though it isn't) so it takes
on the default blue color of a hyperlink.

Sorry - what is that?

 

[Murray]

style="text-decoration: none">
</span></font> </a>

------------------------^^^

This is a hyperlink, and will have the default color of blue.

<dt><strong><a href="Vita.htm"><font color="#000000">Voluntary Income Tax
Assistance</font></a> ---------------------------^^^^

Ditto.

<a href="STAP.htm"><font color="#000000">
<span style="text-decoration: none">Specialized Telecommunication
Assistant Program</span></font></a>

-------------------------------------------------^^^^

Ditto.

Etc.

The font tags you have added will not change that.

Murray, the following hyperlink would appear black, not the default blue or whatever copy is set for
hyperlinks on the page.

<a href="Vita.htm"><font color="#000000">Voluntary Income Tax Assistance</font></a>

I was using a template I found on the web, designer finally emailed me back
that all I had to do was view my work in Design and make the font color
choice that I wanted. Replaced all blue text with black and it took.

Thanks to all that replied.
