Link Bar Font Color

D

Dave Ireland

I'd like to have two link bars on the same page, but have them with differing
font colors.

I'm setting the default link color on the Page Properties>Formatting window
and this is working fine for my first Link Bar. But when I try to change the
font color for my second Link Bar, the color of the dividers changes, but not
the font itself.

I've tried digging into the HTML code and changing the font color
immediately prior to the Link Bar code, but this has no better effect.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

Dave

I take it these are FrontPage link bar components configured to be in text
mode. If so, try something like this:

<html>
<head>
<style>
a {color:#990000; background-color: #ffcccc;}
a:hover {color:#ffcccc; background-color: #990000;}
p.anc2 a {color:#000099; background-color: #ccccff;}
p.anc2 a:hover {color:#ccccff; background-color: #000099;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p align="center"><!-- your first link bar --></p>
<p align="center" class="anc2"><!-- your second link bar --></p>
</body>
</html>

The "p.anc2 a" style rule applies to <a> tags situated within paragraphs
coded <p class="anc2">.

The "p.anc2 a:hover" rule applies to the same tags when the mosue is over
them.

Better yet, of course, would be coding these style rules in a linked CSS file.

Jim,

Just what I was looking for. Many thanks. And it made me get your "Front
Page 2003 Inside Out" off my bookshelf and read the CSS section!

Best regards,

Dave
