Working with Link Styles in Freeway

Hi

I am new to Freeway having come from the Windows world a year ago, and finally thought I should perhaps find an Application that works in OSX. Well here I am.

The program I was using has similarities to this one, so perhaps once I get used to the terminology used here vs the Windows world, I will get along just fine with FW.

I read over and tried to implement Heathers tutorial on multiple link colors and got confused on the last page. I am just having a bit of trouble getting around FW, but I will get there, after all what should I expect after only 2 hours.

If you want to use multiple link colors on a page, here is what I would suggest: (this is only an example and variables can change)

Main Menu > Page > HTML Markup > Before paste this code:

[code]

       a.linkstyle1:link { text-decoration:none; color: navy; font-style:normal;}
       a.linkstyle1:visited { text-decoration:none; color: navy; font-style:normal;}
       a.linkstyle1:hover { text-decoration:none; color: blue; font-family:Arial; font-weight:bold; font-style:normal;}

       a.linkstyle2:link { text-decoration:none; color: red; font-style:normal;}
       a.linkstyle2:visited { text-decoration:none; color: red; font-style:normal;}
       a.linkstyle2:hover { text-decoration:none; color: green; font-family:Arial; font-weight:bold; font-style:normal;}

       a.linkstyle3:link { text-decoration:none; color: navy; font-style:normal;}
       a.linkstyle3:visited { text-decoration:none; color: navy; font-style:normal;}
       a.linkstyle3:hover { text-decoration:none; color: blue; font-family:Arial; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;}
 </STYLE>

Note that there are 3 link styles included in the above code and each one has been assigned a class (linstyle1 etc)

Here is where you can do a test:

Place 3 text objects on your page > can be simple one word link text items or multiple words.

Highlight the text in the first textbox > right click > click Hyperlink > I selected “External” so that I could link to an external site > Click Protocol - I selected “http:” > enter an address - www.whaterver.com > Target - I selected “blank” > Click Extended > Click New > for Name enter “class” without the quotes > for Value enter “linkstyle1” or “linkstyle2” or linkstyle3" without the quotes.

Do this to each one of the 3 text objects and select a different class for each one.

Give it a try and see if it works for you.

I wasn’t sure how to submit code so somehow I missed the first line, so here is a re-submission of the code: This is just too neat how you just put in the code and it appears.

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">

       a.linkstyle1:link { text-decoration:none; color: navy; font-style:normal;}
       a.linkstyle1:visited { text-decoration:none; color: navy; font-style:normal;}
       a.linkstyle1:hover { text-decoration:none; color: blue; font-family:Arial; font-weight:bold; font-style:normal;}

       a.linkstyle2:link { text-decoration:none; color: red; font-style:normal;}
       a.linkstyle2:visited { text-decoration:none; color: red; font-style:normal;}
       a.linkstyle2:hover { text-decoration:none; color: green; font-family:Arial; font-weight:bold; font-style:normal;}

       a.linkstyle3:link { text-decoration:none; color: navy; font-style:normal;}
       a.linkstyle3:visited { text-decoration:none; color: navy; font-style:normal;}
       a.linkstyle3:hover { text-decoration:none; color: blue; font-family:Arial; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;}
 </STYLE>

It’s tough getting used to a new forum and the way things are done.

I found another little error in my first post:

This line: Main Menu > Page > HTML Markup > Before paste this code:

Should read: Main Menu > Page > HTML Markup > Before “/HEAD” - paste the below code. Can’t put the angle brackets in there I guess.

You can put angle brackets in, just have to do it in a code block.
Either wrap the word in back-ticks (top-left key on a US keyboard,
under the tilde) or put it in a code block (indent with four spaces)
and you can use any character you like!

Thanks, Walter, much appreciated.

Is there a Forum Use Guide anywhere?

I guess the other option I have is to just test things out with a sample post and just not send it.
