Im trying Freeway Pro now.
I have my html text floating in a layer above a graphic.
I want to have the hyperlinked text change color on rollover to indicate that it is a link.
(I have eliminated the underscore. I just want the type to change color on rollover)
Also, when I view my text in a browser, the positioning is aprox the same, but the end of my rag has altered.
Why is this? I told the type to me 12 px in size.
If the item is a layer item then select it and look in the Link
section of the Inspector palette. You can change the color of all four
states of a link here (if you leave any of them as None hen the
browser defaults will be used).
You mention the end of your rag being altered, I’m not sure what you
mean by this, could you elaborate please. If you have an example we
can see online then it will make things easier.
Regards,
Joe

I tried your suggestion.
Im still not getting it.
Im trying to have the color of html type change when I roll over some linked type.
I selected the layer that contains it and changed the link settings in the inspector.
Doesnt do anything.
The type remains one color. No change upon rollover.
Im obviously not setting it up correctly.
What else can I try?
Hang on, is the type you want to change color the text inside the link, or somewhere separate? It sounds like you may want to do something where you roll over a trigger link and some completely separate block of text changes color. Is that it?
All I need here is for some simple hyperlinked text to chnge color on rollover. I have this type in a layer on top of an image.
I gotta believe this is easy. I just don’t know how.
With your floating layer selected, click on the paintbrush icon in the
Inspector. Click on the segment header titled “Links”. Adjust the
pickers within that segment to suit your liking.
That’s it, nothing else to do.

If this still doesn’t do the trick, try selecting all of your link text and clicking on the [No Style] link in the Styles palette to remove any local styling. You may have applied a span style to the text, and what happens then is Freeway splits the span, and re-applies the span style inside the link text, which breaks rollovers and other effects. It’s the difference between this:
<p>
<span class="foo">Some text </span>
<a href="bar">
<span class="foo">link</span>
<a>
<span class="foo"> and more text here.</span>
</p>
and this (which will actually work with a rollover style you’ve defined elsewhere):
<p class="foo">
Some text
<a href="bar">
link
<a>
and more text here.
</p>
I got as far as getting my linked text to change color on rollover.
I got the linked text to not have an underscore.
Fine.
Thing is, the text appears as speced in FWs preview mode and if I preview in Firefox.
If I preview in Safari (my preferred browser) my linked text appears in purple with an underscore that at least turns red as speced upon rollover.
