[Express] How to change the hyperlink text color

The original blue color does not look nice on the pages I created.

I did not find the way to change it in Freeway Express 5.4.3.
It probably is possible whitout editing the html4-code?

Hi…
one way you can do it is as follows

Write some text say something like this:
normal text link text normal text
then highlight the link text bit in the middle
then click cmd-k
add a link to this for example:
http://www.freewaytalk.net
now click ok and whilst its highlighted choose a colour from Colors palette

the result is the link should now be coloured

all the bests max

Another way to do it is by using the extended button when you are in the link popup window.
Just click the extended button and add this in the name field
style
and this in the value field:
color:#fb84b8

if you didntt want your links to be underlined then you could add a second part like this:
color:#fb84b8; text-decoration:none

hope this helps
kind regards max

Thank you max for your kind advice!

I already found the method you presented in your first message. But I wondered if there were the possibility in Freeway to define the link-color as the general property of the project. The answer I just found from

FW5Reference_2010_screen.pdf is:

Setting hyperlink colors for an item
In Freeway 5 Pro, you can set link styles for any CSS item. This is useful if you wish to have different link styles on different parts of a page. To set link styles for a CSS item:
1 Select the item and display the Item Appearance panel in the Inspector palette. Click on the disclosure triangle next to Links to show this section, if it is not already open.
2 Choose an appropriate color and style for normal links (Link), visited links (Visited), links that are underneath the mouse cursor (Hover), and links that are being clicked on (Active). To access other link style options in Freeway 5 Pro, click on the More button.
In Freeway 5 Express, you can use the Text Link Style Action to set link styles for individual boxes. This Action also allows you to set link styles for non-CSS items.


O.K. then!

The problem is you said you were an Express user and most of us are Pro users - that makes it a bit more difficult as most of us are not entirely sure what features are available to you when you are using Express.

Hi
I am fairly sure Express doesn’t have that as an option hence why I didn’t include it.
But if you wanted to have a general: “if a link make it this colour” type of thing on a page then the only way I can think of doing it without creating an action specifically to do it is by:

  1. Click on Page/HTML Markup
  2. Make sure your insert drop down is set to Before

and paste this in:

   <style type="text/css">
   <!--
   a:link { color:#f00 }
   a:visited { color:#f00 }
   a:hover { color:#0ff }
   a:active { color:#f00 }
   -->
   </style>

at the moment this would create a red link with a cyan rollover
just change the hex reference to what you want

all the best max

There’s no need to resort to markup as Express has the options to set the 4 standard link styles (link, visited, hover, and active) in the Inspector palette;

These work on a page-by-page basis or on all pages that use the common master.

I have earlier written html-code, so I have thought I could later edit the code Freeway Express generates, if there is not any other way to go.

But I understand that “my problem” can be solved using the Freeway Action Tin Plumb told above.

Thank’s again!
