How to create a mouse over effect

B

BPeterson

I would like to create (I think) a mouse over effect for all of my
hyperlinks. I would like the blue hyperlink to be orange when the mouse goes
over it, then rollover to gray when it has been clicked. I cannot figure out
how to do this. Any help would be much appreciated!

Have you looked at Page Properties? Take a look at the Formatting and
Advanced tabs.

I would do this via CSS... add this to your head section

<style type="text/css">
a:visited {color: gray}
a:hover {color: orange}
</style>

You can also do many other tricks via CSS for links, like giving them a
background color, getting rid of the underline, etc

Hello BPeterson,

For further learning, visit this page...
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_examples.asp

Look under the heading "Pseudo-classes" , about 1/2 way down the page. As
Mike mentioned, there are lots of other things you can do with hyperlink
appearances. (copy/paste the example into your html code and alter to suite
your taste)

Maybe bookmark this to your favorites?


Best regards,

Richard in VA.
