I want to activate the Link-Style action on an element which is inside a cell in a table (yes I want that table because the different cells contain text that must line)
But the action does not show up in the list when marking that cell content. Do I miss something here?
Thanks for answering

This is bit odd but for some reason I copied a bit from previous thread and my reply ended up in the old thread… I don’t know why so if you read this in the other thread started by emily you will know the reason why

Thats correct it wont work but… there are alternatives This has been asked before and there a few ways around it
One way create an “a” tag with the styling you require or if you want to target just the tables then you would use a “td a” tag
you can read the whole thread if you search for Text link styling in tables?
alternativley you can use Heathers tutorial on link styling as that can work to I think homepage.mac.com/heatherkay/Tutorials/linkstyles/linkstylesintro.html

No, this seems to be a limitation of the Action. I believe this is
because Freeway doesn’t name things at the sub-table level. The table
(more accurately, its enclosing DIV) has an ID, which can be used to
build the table-level link styles and apply them through the stylesheet.
I have an Action you could use to do what you are trying to do. It’s
called Add Selector, and it’s available here: <http://freewaypro.com/
actions/downloads/>. To do what you’re trying to do, you would apply
that action to the table cell or row, be sure to change the picker in
the Actions palette to match which element you really do want to
attach to, and then give the row or cell an ID or Class. Either one
will work.
Then, you need to build your specific styles long-hand in the Styles
palette, and apply them to something on the page so they get
published into the stylesheet. (The easiest way to get this to happen
is to draw an HTML box on the pasteboard, apply the styles to text
within that box, then un-check the Layer checkbox in the Inspector
for that.)
The styles need to be made using the Styles palette, and you need to
put the entire name of the style in the Tag field, while ensuring
that the Name field is left empty.
Here’s an example, assuming that you applied the Action to the table
row, and that you used the ID form rather than the class form.
tr#mystyle a {
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
font: 13px/13px Verdana;
padding: 2px 4px;
}
tr#mystyle a:hover {
color: #fff;
background-color: #000;
}
Now all links within the table row with the ID mystyle will take on
the appearance defined in the stylesheet.

OK.
Thanks a lot, both of you!
Sorry I missed this issue in previous threads, but the “new style” forum (aka mail-message-system…) is confusing when searching. Must be me…
Thanks

No, it’s not your fault. The search system is very rudimentary at the
moment. World-class search is coming soon, don’t worry. Finlay and I
just have to find ten minutes between us to get Sphinx working.

Here’s a follow-up to my post. (can I edit the title, so it reads: fixed?)
I am in the process of exploring the ExpressionEngine Action Suite by Joe Muscara, and there I happened to find exactly the trick that I needed. With one of the actions from the suite I can add a CLASS tag to the link inside the cell. So by tweeking that style in FW I hope I get what I’m after.
Another case of: RTFM I guess. (so sorry, Joe)
