Help with inline CSS

Freeway
1

Dear All

I am using FreewayPro 4.3.2 to prepare a “prototype” website, and I am having a couple of problems. I would be grateful if anyone could help me solve them.

My test page can be seen at www.personality.co.uk/test_soc/test.html

This page has one paragraph which I am styling with inline CSS, which is the way I need to do it because I am going to generate each of a number of such paragraphs out of a FileMakerPro database, where I can easily add these CSS tags. (SEO and google-awareness are not needed at this stage!)

This page contains a single Markup Item containing the following:

<a href=http:www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=1019&id=000000><span style='text-align: left; line-height:90%;font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; font-family: tahoma; color: blue; '>HEADING HERE</span><span style='font-size:10px; font-style: italic; font-family: verdana; color: black; '> &mdash; Text goes here.

This works OK for me, except for two problems:

(1) All the text is a hypertext link, which is what I want, but it is all underlined WHICH I DO NOT WANT! Could somebody kindly tell me how to amend the above to “turn off” the underlining of the linked text. (I know it’s to do with a:linked but I can’t find where or how to put the right text in the above to make it work).

(2) The link “http:www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=1019&id=000000” doesn’t quite work!! It adds the URL of my site before it, so it doesn’t work!

Help would be much appreciated! PHILIP

Hi Philip,
Try this;

<a href="http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=1019&id=101561"  
style="text-decoration:none"><span style="text-align: left; line- 
height:90%;font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; font-family: tahoma;  
color: blue;">KeyCamp Holidays</span><span style="font-size:10px; font- 
style: italic; font-family: verdana; color: black;"> &mdash; Discover  
why Keycamp are officially the UK and Ireland's Number 1 mobile home  
holiday company. Enjoy a relaxed, easy-going atmosphere for people who  
don't want to be packaged.</a>

Regards,
Tim.

Thanks, Tim.

If I understand correctly, putting
style=“text-decoration:none”
forces the text never to be underlined, either before or after clicking on the link.

And, my mistake with the URL was not enclosing it in quote-marks. Was that all it was!?

Thanks again. It now seems to work perfectly!

Hi Philip,
Yes, the style=“text-decoration:none” simply tells the browser not to
underline the text link.
There were a few of things missing;

  1. The anchor tag wasn’t closed so I added to the end of the link,
  2. The slashes on the link were the wrong way around. They should have
    been http:// and not http:\
  3. And, yes, the href should have been quoted (although many browsers
    would have been fine with it).

I’m glad it helped.
Regards,
Tim.
