I am using WebYep RichText on a site, and all of the hyperlinks that are added using the Rich Text editor are the same color (dark blue, underlined), which doesn’t mesh well with the other colors in the site design. How can I change the hyperlink colors in a WebYep Rich Text Element? Thanks in advance for any information.
Hi TB
The easiest way to colour the links to is to set the links within the colour within the inspector palette under pages appearance settings, which is the second tab across (it looks like a paint brush).
Then under links which is the bottom section just add the colours you would like the page links to be.
Finally when you publish and populate the WebYep items including the rich-text areas, the overall page colours should be picked up by the WebYep items.
Thanks so much, guys. Marcel- I will look into that, thank you.
Max- I’ve used this technique for entire pages before. The problem is that I have a section of the page that has a different background color with a WebYep Rich Text area over it, so it needs to have a different set of link colors than the rest of the page. Thanks again.
HI
the easiest way to do it for your scenario is create two styles.
first look in the inspector palette (NOT the action palette) and copy the name of your richtext item
So for this example I will call it mytext
now open edit styles and click on the plus button to add a new style
in the tag field add a hash, paste the name and then add a space and add an a so it should look like this:
#mytext a
(the name field must be blank)
now add your colour to this style with the drop downs that you can see on the right hand side
Duplicate or create a new style but this time called it this in the tag field
#mytext a:hover
(the name field must be blank)
add your colour for this rollover state
now publish
what should happen is that any layer (div) and in your case the rich-text area item will use these styles as its basic link colours and everything else on the page will use your standard basic page link colours
This will only work for the one item on your page which is named mytext so if you do have more than one richtext which you need the same rollover colours and they are on the same page then let me know and I will write it up on how you do it.
One more question- how can I get a WebYep Menu item in a table cell to have it’s colors remain the same, regardless of whether or not the links have been visited?
Hi
How are you styling menu?
there are a few ways to do it… (all of them fairly painful)
so if you could send me an example of your freeway artwork I can then adjust the method to suite what you have…
Embarrassingly enough, styling is still not my forte. I am frequently confused as to what I am actually supposed to add the styling to; the container, the element itself, the text, etc.
I have just been trying to add the style directly to the cell itself, and have also tried using your trick above for styling the “T” area. Nothing has worked. Here is a link to an example file that I created:
