Link color showed up as purple when I deliberately set it to gray

Hi there,
I have a text, and I set it as a link to another page. I also
set the link color to be gray, and have it turn black during hover.
Why is the text color PURPLE in the preview???????
The color is correct (gray) in dreamweaver, but when I
preview it, it's purple... I don't get it....
Please advice, thank you!
cgbub

But we'd need to see the page to be sure....

  • Visited link colors shows on navigational buttons and icon despite not visited

    Hello!  I (newbie) have problems in my very first website.  Some of my navigational buttons at my footer section and the icon on the lower left shows the visited link color green despite I haven't visited any of the link.  There are times these colors are all blue (unvisited links).  My URL is http://www.jespir.com. Please help and thank you in advance.

    I have the same CSS coding. 
    Nowhere that I can see.
    Open global.css file.  Change this:
    a:link {
        color: #00F;
    a:visited {
        color: #0C0;
    a:hover {
        color: #FF0;
    a:active {
        color: #CAE0EC;
    to this:
    a img {border:none}
    a {text-decoration:none}
    a:link {color: #00F;}
    a:visited {color: #0C0;}
    a:hover {color: #FF0;}
    a:active, a:focus {color: #CAE0EC;}
    Remove this from your embedded CSS code. You don't need it.
    a:link {
    text-decoration: none;
    a:visited {
    text-decoration: none;
    a:hover {
    text-decoration: none;
    a:active {
    text-decoration: none;
    Save both documents and upload to server.

    Hi, Alt:
    It seems to work fine when placed into a new VI.

  • I cannot delete unwanted app from my iPhone 5.  They wiggle and show the X but when I press the X it grays our but will not delete or go back to the home page when I press the home button

    The icons wiggle and show the x but they will not delete when I press the X.  Also the home button will not cancel the action.

    Try doing a hard reset: Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    After this, try again to delete the app.
    If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
    In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Using his article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
    Good luck

  • Change Visited Link Color onClick of EPCM function

    Hi we have a link within an iview which when clicked opens another iview in the Portal Content Area. We are achieving that using EPCM.doNavigate function. The requirement is to change the link color when visited. We tried using both style sheet and also this.style.color, however, it doesn't take into affect. The same thing when used with a normal href or a js function changes its color.
    response.write("<td style='padding: background='"strImagePath"/header-background.gif'><a href=\"" + strQuickLinkName + "\"" +  " onclick=\"EPCM.doNavigate(\'" + strChildNodeName + "\'); return false;\" class='Archive'>Archive</a></td>");
    Is it that EPCM function doesn't act like normal java scripts or do we need to use any other alternative approach?

    On criagslist, however, it doesn't work.
    That sounds odd. When I visit craigslist, the links are blue; they turn purple when I hover over them, and orange when I actually click on them. And since it works on other sites, I'll venture a guess that the site was created with Windows users in mind, so it doesn't adhere to web standards, which is why it works fine with IE and Firefox, since they're both prominent browsers on Windows.

  • Link color in Internet Exploder

    I've set the text-color to white, if I type a text it's
    white.
    I've set the link-color to white, if I type a text it's
    white, however, as soon as I make the text into a link and check it
    in Internet Exploder, the link color has changed to purple. Also in
    Mozilla Firefox the link is purple, only in Opera the text is
    white...
    Also in CSS I've set the color to white. I didn't make a new
    CSS-rule, don't even know if that's possible in this case, I just
    went to the settings for this link and set it to white, this was no
    solution either.
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thank you, have a nice day...

  • Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Here's what I've found on the issue:
    Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
    Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
    In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

  • When inserting a .pdf of a document with a standard white paper color the test and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

    When inserting a .pdf of a document into a Keynote template with a standard white paper color the text and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

    Use the color fill option - select the inserted .pdf and assign a fill color of white to it using the Color Fill Menu on the Toolbar or the Color Picker Palette.
    Good Luck.

    In Dreamweaver 6, I created a new fluid layout. I set up (4) DIVs. In the 3rd div, I changed the font color. The new color shows up on the website when viewed in my computer desktop, but, when viewed in a tablet and a cell phone, the color of the font does not change. It's the same in Dreamweaver's Live view. It shows the new color on Desktop view and not in the cell phone or tablet view. Also, I changed the font itself in one of the DIVs and it shows up in the new font on the desktop view and website viewed thru the computer, but, not on the tablet or cell phone. Can someone please explain. I want to be able to change the fonts and colors for viewing in the tablet and cell phone, also. The fonts were all standard fonts. Sans-erif and Verdana and Arial were tried. Thanks.

    I will lock this discussion because of duplicate post.

  • The preview page shows a pink/purple background when i place a.swf file rather than a transparency why?

    The preview page shows a pink/purple background when i place a.swf file rather than a transparency why?Would you be kind enough to help?

    Hello,
    Usually pink\purple background appears when "Show Grid Overlay" is enabled.
    please go to View > Hide Grid Overlay and see if it works.
    I am not sure if it will fix the problem as you said that pink\purple background appears when you place a swf file only.
    If this do not fix the problem I would request you to share the screenshot of the design mode for better idea of the problem.
    Regards

  • Don't want button images to show active link color

    I made hover buttons and when I link to them to the appropriate pages it creates a box with the link color around the whole button. So this changes the look of the button with an ugly blue border. I looked at the options in the page properties under links but not seeing anything to help. How do I have an active link but deactivate the box and color that identifies it as such? I primarily create my sites in the design mode as my CSS skills are not very strong. Thank you in advance.

    Use CSS.
    Add
    a img { border: none; }
    to your CSS stylesheet.
