dreamweaver problem

I'm at work and I was asked to design an email blast. The only version of dreamweaver they have here is version 3, I'd do it at home but I don't get paid for that. When I set up the page properties I initialy assigned the links to be blue, they decided to change the color scheme to red. When I changed the link colors in the page properties to red the links changed to red on the .asp but not when I publish the .htm. Any clue why the links are not changing in the .htm??

thanks

can't you do it via codeview?

I'm not that great with html, but when I looked at the code I wasn't sure where the color assignment for the links was located.

ok I've found the code for some reason I have two colors assigned for my links. I guess I'll just play around with it

thanks[/code]

you could always download a trial version of the newest version and use it to get this task done. Once they see the great job you make of it, it might convince them to buy you the full version!

this is an in house freelance gig. I brought in my copy of MX 2004 in case I get absolutly frustrated with 3, but I don't know how cool they are about me doing that (corporate stuff) anyway I've changed the code to the red I want but it still insits on reverting back to this abnoxious purple/blue color. this may be a lost cause. here is the begining of the code before I made the change, #CC0033 is the color I want. One link out of 5 or 6 is behaving correctly.

take out all code that makes it red now, and put in:



Put it in your head tag. If you don't want a hover color, or if you want a different hover color, remove or edit the second css line accordingly.

I fixed the problem. But I don't understand why it behaves the way it does. this first code behaves correctly:

this one does not:

what does the 20% mean ? Without the 20% the links appear as this purple color that is listed no where in the code and with it it behaves properly.

thanks for everyones help

The purple is a visited link

The %20 is the code for a space (I think). A space on the end of the url will go to the same place but will look like a different url, that you have not visited yet. That is why it has gone back to blue. If you click on the link then the link will go to purple next time you visit.

My code will solve the problem. I promise

everything cool now, I was just currious as to what that code was. I really appreciate your help. Because of you guys people at work think I'm a lot smarter than I really am .

Thanks everyone

LOL, Is that how you got your job? From hanging out on here and getting help?

It's css (cascading stylesheets). Possibly the greatest thing since sliced bread - actually sliced bread kinda sucks, they never slice it thick enough.

But anyway, it gives you precise control over evergthing on the page, from colours, positions and sizes right down to things like the number of pixcels between each letter of a word. It also has the ability to be contained in a separate file so that the entire layout and aesthetic of the site is controlled from a single file.

In theory everyone should be ditching tables for layouts and using CSS <b>BUT THEY DON'T</b>

I love stylesheets

No i didn't get the job because of these forums, I live behind my computer (you can tell by my lack of a tan). It's these little problems that seem to always come up that these forums really help out. there is always someone out there that has the answer.

I need to get back into dreamweaver I've been relying too heavily on flash (due to motion art, fun stuff)

We would never have guessed!

One more question.......

I used the code you gave me earlier
but is there a way to make just one of the links a different color (white FFFFFF) while the other ones remain the same
