I have a Text Link to New Window Action used and I’d like to use the Text Link Style Action on it, but it doesn’t seem to pick up. It keeps picking up the page links, which are not what I want.
I have the TLtoNW inserted in a box that’s inserted in another box. It doesn’t pick up the link style when I put the action on any of those boxes.
Is there a way to get this to work?
Thanks.

Make sure that the action has a space typed before and after it.

I’ve already switched my page links with the text links, but I’ll keep that in mind for the future.
So, I insert the New Window action into a box, then apply the Text Style to that box? With a space before and after the New Window action?

And make sure that the link style is applied to the box that immediately contains the action item.
CSS means that the last style applied will prevail.

Yes
Actually it is easier to type a space, insert the action and then type another space.
Post a link if it is not working for you.

Still not working. I can’t really post it as it’s just a page in my practice site.
I have a box with text in it. Then, at the bottom of the box I insert a box. Then insert the Text Link to New Window action (space before and space after). And, to the box that sits in, I apply the Text Link Styles action.
I just get the page links style.

You could copy the page into another site and upload that.
This page uses my method http://www.deltadesign.co/untitled1.html
The links in the body text are styled by the Page Link styling section.
The first ‘try this’ is another HTMl box inserted after the text in the first column HTML box with the Text Link Style action applied.
The 2nd link ‘and this’ is in another HTML box inserted after the 2 ‘column’ boxes (essentially Box Model style) - but with an underline.

Here’s a link to the page I was playing with:

Your page is built with the CSS button off!
That may be the problem.
The Text Link Styling action works on the premise that the style is attached to the containing item - in your case item5
a.item5:link { text-decoration: underline; color:#69C2F2 }
Because you are using Table layout then the containing table has no ID (item5) so the style has no target.
Make your container a layered item instead and see if that works.

I’ll try it, but I know in the original site I was working on it’s all CSS and it wasn’t working.

Well, as you have seen from my page, it does work.
There are, of course, other ways to do this if you don’t mind a bit of hand coding!

Check the link again. I even changed the page links to be different and they are coming up the default “blue underline”.
So…not sure what I’m doing wrong at this point.

OK. I got it to work (though I didn’t upload it again).
I didn’t use the Text Link Style action. I just clicked on the box and I was able to make new link styles for just that box which I never knew you could do!
Oy…
Thanks for joining in my frustration with me!

Try changing the HTML version for the page to XHTML 1.0 Strict - which mine is.
The difference I see in your code
a.item5:link { text-decoration: underline; color:#69C2F2 }
to mine which is
#item6a a:link { color:#ff1493; text-decoration:none }
is the # in front etc.

I am sorry - that is the method I was using! I thought that was what you were doing too.

To clarify for any followers. I said:
And make sure that the link style is applied to the box that immediately contains the action item.
What I should have said is:
And make sure that the link style is applied to the box that immediately contains the action item using the Links section at the bottom of the HTML inspector.

Yeah, I was trying to use the Link Style Action which wasn’t working and apparently not necessary.
