Internal link color

I have a blog and on my home page (and on the archive page) is a list of my entry pages, which when clicked on will go to that page. The problem is I have no control of the color of these "links". The inspector toolbar does seem to register them as links, therefore, I cannot change the color of them. Does anyone know how to change the color of these "internal links"?

1) How do I get to the CSS files? (How can I open them in textedit to edit them)?
You can find CSS files in your Blog_files folder and Archive_files folder:
1) Launch TextEdit (in Applications folder) then select menu bar --> File --> Open... or keyboard command+o
2) Navigate to Blog_files folder and Archive_files folder and select .css file.
3) Search for #widget(number) and make the changes to the color attribute. You will need to make changes in multiple places... ie: #widget0, #widget1, #widget2, etc...
Note: do not change #widget0 if you use iweb built-in navbar, widget0 is for iweb navbar.
2) Every time I publish am I going to have to edit these CSS files (at least on the pages that are new or changed)?
To get around that, make duplicate of the CSS files for future use.
3) After I make a change in Textedit, do I just hit "save" and it will change the webpage, or do I need to save the file a certain way in a certain location? (I'm loading these pages through my .mac account domain)
Just hit 'Save', don't forget to empty your browser's cache and make a duplicate for future use.

Internal Links in HTML Document Not Working Correctly in PDF

I have an HTML document that contains internal links (basically a Table of Contents). When the document is displayed in a browser, the internal links work correctly. However, when I use Acrobat 8 Professional to create a PDF version from the HTML source, the links don't go to the correct place when clicked. It almost appears that they are off by one, e.g., link 7 goes to anchor 8. I can send the source document for you to look at if you email me at eharris -at- synnovation.com. I am not expert in HTML and perhaps the links/anchors are not done correctly when I create the HTML document. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

This one has the same problem. For instance, "Anchor1" as <a name="Anchor1"> appears 13 times. I am sure that your problem is that Acrobat is going to the last occurance that is just before the first one. As I scan through the file I find similar results for all of the anchors. When I used Tidy, it reduces about 1350 errors to about 474, but that is still not too good. The validator is flagging a lot of identical IDs as well as unrecognized attributes (like ONSELECTSTART). The attributes correctly accepted by body are
Attribute Specifications
* BACKGROUND=URI (background image for document)
* BGCOLOR=Color (background color for document)
* TEXT=Color (text color for document)
* LINK=Color (link color for document)
* VLINK=Color (visited link color for document)
* ALINK=Color (active link color for document)
* ONLOAD=Script (document has been loaded)
* ONUNLOAD=Script (document has been exited)
as listed on htmlhelp.com for HTML 4. There may be some new ones in HTML 5, but I did not check.
I am not looking at all of your HTML in detail, but there appears to be a lot of unneeded things based on the error messages from the validator. Many browsers will let you display the stuff (even Acrobat), but there may be errors that crop in when you do not expect it or on some other browsers that the one you check. Thus again, you should use a validator. If you are only off a few tags that might be fine, but when it is in the 1000s, there is an issue. It would also be good to break your page up into parts. It is good practice on web pages for each page to be not much more than one screen. That is often exceeded, but 59 screens of info (on my screen) is a bit much. The TOC is definitely needed in that case, but just was well go to a sub page just as well and make the info easier to track. A PDF (as you are trying to get) could be made of the entire system for those that want it all in one bit. Bill

Maintaining internal links on Word files placed into Indesign

I want to bring a word file into Indesign, which has a very large number of internal links. When I place the file in Indesign, the external hyperlinks transfer as well as bookmarks, but the internal links do not., The blue colour and the underlining format transfers but the actual links are lost. I don't want to re-link all these links within the document again. Is there a way to bring the internal links into inDesign with the Word file?

Hi everyone,
I know this is from a few months ago, but I just found it!
I deal with PDFs coming from Word that have to go on press a lot. This is what I know. Word's color space is RGB, so we're already starting out with a problem.
1. Open the Printers in the Control Panel folder
Choose the Adobe PDF Driver
Right click to open Properties
Go to Device Settings
Convert gray text to Postscript gray: change this setting to Yes
Convert gray graphics to Postscript gray: change this setting to Yes
2. When you print to Adobe PDF, choose Press Quality job options. This may only show up for those who have the full blown Acrobat installed. If you don't have this, go through all of the job options, especially Color and Fonts. In the Fonts tab, make sure that Embed is turned ON and that there are no fonts in the Never Embed column. If there are, delete them. Under Color, either leave unchanged (which is fine if your doc is all text and you've changed the settings on the driver described above), or choose "Convert Color to CMYK".
3. Within Acrobat (not Reader), you can view separations: under Advanced menu, then Output Preview. Turn color plates off and on as desired. I usually turn off black and scroll through the file. If anything shows up on the page, I know I have something to fix. (For B&W docs.)
4. You can fix a lot of things without having PitStop, but if you deal with having to get PDFs in shape to go on press, Pitstop is well worth the investment!
5. I agree that it's not necessary to place PDFs into InDesign, unless there's something else you're adding to the pages.
I hope this helps!

IWeb & Link Color

My default link color appears as red. This applies to any "page links" that show at the top of the page, as well as internal links like links that I put in my blog entries.
Is there a way to change the default link color? It seems like it is a very basic necessity to a website to have link colors that actually correspond to the website.
Thanks!

So there is a way to access the source code of what I build in iWeb? Not that it is fun to have to change things manually, but if that is a solution then I'll take it.
iweb navbar css is rendered by javascript widget and the code is in the page source.
you can change it if you like, but it isn't practical because you have to post edit every time you publish your site.
I did run a forum search before posting this, but oddly enough what I found I could only view the original post and no replies - so it didn't do me too much good.
the link in my previous post was to lay out all the possible method, you pick your poison and acquire the needed knowledge, except for method #4.
Sad that Apple would leave out something as basic as changing some generic website preferences like link color. That makes me a bit wary about actually using iWeb for large-scale projects :-\
give them feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html
that said, navbar is the simplest of iweb widgets; just about everything in it can be changed with ajax and javascript, see this thread:

CS3 Spry Accordion Link Color

Greetings:
I am attempting to change the link color to "none" within a
Dreamweaver CS3 Spry Accordion navigational element and I am unable
to make the changes I need. I have tried to change the internal
link page properties within my HTML document and also set the "a"
properties in the linked CSS file to "text-decoration: none" and
the link color still remains in the Accordion navigational element.
Do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Thanks for your help!

in your spy accordian css file, put:
a:link
text-decoration:none;
or, even better
.nolinkunderline
text-decoration:none;
and then apply the style to your accordians hyperlinks
i am assuming it's the underline element that you want
removed

Spry Menu Bar link colors not consistent

I have a horizontal Spry menu bar set up with 4 items in it.
The first item is the Home link and does not have a submenu, but
the other 3 items do. What I want is when you roll over the main 4
items the text link color will be purple (#583399). When an item
has a submenu the rollover text link on the submenu links will be
green (#89b11a).
My current code almost works, but the problem I am having is
that the Home link
without the submenu changes to a green color instead of
purple like the other 3 main links. If I add a test submenu to the
Home link then it turns purple like the other links. How can I get
the Home link to change to purple like the others without having a
submenu attached to it?
Here is my html code that refers to the menu:
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
<li><a href="index.html"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">HOME</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">ABOUT</a>
<ul>
<li><a
href="services.html">services</a></li>
<li><a
href="bios.html">bios</a></li>
<li><a
href="news.html">news</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="work.html" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu"
>WORK</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="design.html">design</a>
</li>
<li><a
href="advertising.html">advertising</a></li>
<li><a href="casestudies.html">case
studies</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="contact.html"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">CONTACT</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">.</a></li>
<li><a
href="location.html">location</a></li>
<li><a
href="opportunities.html">opportunities</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Here is the Spry CSS code that pertains to the links:
/* Menu items are a light gray text with padding and no text
decoration */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
padding: 0.5em 0.75em;
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
/* Menu items that have mouse over or focus have green text
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a:hover, ul.MenuBarHorizontal a:focus
color: #89b11a;
/* Menu items that are open with submenus are set to
MenuBarItemHover with purple text */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemHover,
color: #583399;
/* Menu items that are open with submenus are set to
MenuBarItemHover with purple text */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover,
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
color: #583399;
And
here
is a link to my test file so you can see what I am talking
about.
Thanks for any help and let me know if you need anything else
to help with it.

Anyone??

How can I get my INTERNAL links to work in Mozilla Firefox? They were working a month or two ago BEFORE Firefox made updates. See details.

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/833946''
Here's a problem I don't know how to fix. In Mozilla Firefox prior to a couple of months
ago I could click on a link and have it open. For example, at http://usnews.vo.llnwd.net/e
1/s/7676/dw_110603_po.pdf?s=1307221956&e=1307222256&h=024749f5186aeabee854b34720f8c2d7 does it open for you? (Probably withdrawn now.)
OK, now go to https://secure.usnews.com/premium/weekly.jsp , but because you are not a
subscriber, you cannot click on the red button and have it open, or can you?
Now go to https://secure.usnews.com/premium/weekly.jsp . Does it open for you?
Now click on Download text-only edition. Does it open for you? My Mozilla makes the expected panel but leaves it blank and forms a partial black bar on the lower left that never completes rightward to show that the site has opened. It gets suspended there after I click it and will not open, BUT if I use as my ISP Internet Explorer, that last link WILL open and I can read the pdf. What program or application am I missing in Firefox that is present in IE? How can the Mozilla one be restored as it was effective for so very long till the last month or so?
In one site I had INTERNAL subheads that when I would attempt to click Mozilla Firefox would not open, as they had BEFORE Mozilla Firefox had sent out its update a month or two ago. I would then have to go down that one-page site to about page 8 just to find that subheads. Why does it not work?
Now the next problem is that this Firefox site requires that I CONFIRM my question. How am I supposed to do that when there is NO "confirm" box or panel in that page to click on?
thanks,
Carl Masthay, St. Louis, [email protected]
(I can chat but maybe Monday during the day.)

OK, I went to Private Browsing to change Never remember history to choose Use custom settings for history and then clicked on Permanent Private Browsing Mode and clicked on the bottom OK. I then went to my Firefox messages and clicked on that internal-linked multimessage and then clicked on a link. It went there for only 1 second and reverted to the top of the message, not moving on further clicking.
I then went to tools > options > privacy only to find that the default Never remember history was back in the panel. It wasn't stable at Use custom settings for history. I tried this several times. It always reverts either right away or after that 1-second success. One time it lasted an amazing 3 seconds before reverting to the top of the multimessage e-mail. So THAT failed too.
OK, so then I went to Internet Explorer and called up that message. Clicked on an internal link and watched it fail for 1 second and then clicked again and it held the message for a long time. It's something in Firefox not Int. Explorer. Please see the image to let you know what I am doing.
Comments?

How to have 2 link colors on one page?

Learning CSS and am unable to make this happen. What am I doing wrong?
http://larrysullivandesign.com/sourceprintmedia.com/_contact.html
http://larrysullivandesign.com/sourceprintmedia.com/sourceprintmedia.css
The text links at page bottom (link-typeA) load up blue, even though the stylesheet calls for them to be gray (#E8E8E8), so they'll read on dark background.
I want blue links site-wide, and grey at page bottom, only for link-typeA
I want only one style sheet, if possible.
How do I make all the link stage (active,hover, etc) colors apply to just link-typeA ? Only way I can see is in Page Properties, which makes one single embedded style on each page. confused....
thanks!

The divs are always referenced in the body and then you assign a class to that div. You can also asign a class to a table if you are using tables.
First make a refernce to an external style sheet and place all your css in there.
make your page and then assign the classes to the divs or tables.
If you think of a div as a container then you assign a class of (footer) to the container. The reference then looks to the external style sheet of where to find that class and then finds the .footer and assigns the correct attributes to it such as the .footer a:link{color:#000;}
you can also see the styles and assign them without handcoding by going to window/CSS styles

Can I list all invalid *internal* links within a site?

Hi,
we are automatically migrating content from LiveLink WCMS to CQ5. After the migration process there will be a small number of links (in text) which point to resources (mostly PDF) but contain errors. We would like to automatically determine all occurences of invalid internal links and list them for manual correction.
But there seems to be only the external link checker, which produces a list (and we need internal links to be checked).
And the usual internal link check seems to be active only during page authoring (and does not produce lists across all pages).
Is there such a thing (or can it be easily built) like an internal link checker which crawls the whole site?
Thanks for any help.
Henning

Hi Henning,
AFAIK out of the box there is no such option. You need to build one.
Thanks,

How do I create an internal link in a pages document?

Thanks for your genius.

How can I add document-internal links in Pages 5?

I have a number of very large dicttionary documents (300+ pages) all of which have internal links. The internal links allow you to jump from one letter to another, so that, for example, if you're looking at words that begin with S, you can go to the A-Z letterboard at the beginning and end of the S section and immediately jump to any other section. I've also got links in the middle of the document leading to parts in the front matter (so, for example, a mention of the word "relative clause" will be linked to a section in the grammar discussing relative clauses). The nice thing is that these links would remain active when exported to .pdf, so when I shared them with others, the internal links continued to function. Each document has hundreds of these internal links. All of them appear to have been broken by the new version of Pages.
Is there a way to create document internal links like the ones I used to use for Pages '09, or has this functionality been forever removed from Pages? If the latter, who do I scream at?

Bookmarks have been removed along with 100 other features.
You could post at Menu > Pages > Provide Pages Feedback but that is pointless in my experience
Instead rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store where everyone can see it. In our local App Store, Pages 5.1 is back down to 2 stars with again 61% of users saying they hate it.
Pages '09 should be in your Applications/iWork folder, use that instead.

How to add an internal link on pages 5.0.1?

Could anyone please tell me how to add an internal link on pages 5.0.1.
I am making FAQ list, and I would like to make the first page of the document as a list of questions and when a user click on each question, it jumps to the answer (in the same document).
I found "Add link" tool but it allows you to jump URL or email only.
I was able to set the list of questions as an index page of "Table of contents" tool and jump to a question page by clicking each page number, however, it fails when I put a question in a table (I would like to place each question and answer in tables for a visual purpose).
It seems a jump by using "Table of contents" become invalid when the contents are placed in a chart. WHy?
Are there any way to solve this problem?
any advise will be appreciated.

Bookmarks have been removed from Pages 5 along with 90+ other features.

You may have Pages '09 still in your Applications/iWork folder.
The T.O.C. does not index text inside objects which includes Tables.

Pdf issue with internal links in Safari

Hello,
I am creating a web site that has 80 or so pdf's available to download. They each contain a series of 20 or so speeches. To make navigation easier I have created a new page in Open Office that is an index to each pdf, with it's page number as an internal link to the correct page. This is what I did:
1. Open each pdf in Preview and inserted a blank page (page 2), and saved the pdf. This gives me the correct page numbering for when I put in the real index.
2. Noting the start of each speech page number, I created an idex page in Open Office.
3. I saved the index as a pdf.
4. I opened the origional pdf and the new pdf index.
5. I deleted the blank page and then dragged the new index page across and made sure it was the same page position - page 2.
6. I then used the link too in Previewl to drag a link box over the page number in the index and then chose the correct page number to set as the target via Previews inspector.
7. Saved the pdf and opened and tested - everything worked fine.
The problem comes when I upload the pdfs and test the site with safari. When I open the pdf in the default safari window, the links are all out by one page i.e. if i click on page number 30 from the index, I go to the next page - page 31. If I hover the mouse at the bottom of the page and bring up the open in Preview icon and do so, the index links to the pages work fine???? I have tried with Explorer under bootcamp and the default window that opens for the pdf shows the same issue - it's out by one page.
Thanks in advance
nige.

Hi...
Try this...
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
See if that makes a difference.

The most convenient way to change the hyper links is by using the Theme Editor. Go to System Administration --> Portal Display --> Select Theme --> Component-Specific Styles --> Links --> Function/Result Link.
Hope this helps.
