Link color with iWeb '08 (2.01)

So far I have found iWeb '08 (2.01) to work fine, except that the link colors are inconsistent. Even though all of the links are set to have a color (to indicate that they are a link), sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. The behavior seems to vary among browsers, and can sometimes change their mind after refreshing the cache. However, even on the same page, they are never all blue (or whatever other color I set for it) at the same time.
The site is www.TecnoTur.us and (as of August 27, 2007) I haven't yet activated the subscription link. There are several other links on the home page that work, although most don't show any link color before hovering over them with the cursor.

When I open your first page the links are all blue and turn red when the cursor hovers over them.
The interesting thing is, if I stop your audio file from playing, the links are still blue but don't turn red for hovering. It might worth trying to upload the page with "autoplay" for the audio file turned off and see if this makes a difference.
As you say, the page has to be refreshed for red "hovering" color to come back.

Despite best efforts, cannot modify link colors in iWeb

I am having issues with changing the colors of my hyperlinks in iWeb. Specifically, I having this problem while working with the "Welcome" page in the "Modern" style template.
After searching through this forum, I followed advice to check out http://www.rowan-cottage.co.uk/Site/CSS%20in%20iWeb.html for tips on modifying the CSS and changing the hyperlink colors. While I was able to edit the .css file and change the unfollowed link colors to blue as planned, the followed link colors unexpectly changed to a strange purple color. Hovering was the same purple, but clicking the link and not releasing the mouse resulted in the link turning red (the default color) even after I had edited the .css file so that hover and followed links were to also be the same blue.
I reloaded the page several times, I reset Safari, I looked at the page with Opera, Firefox, and IE, and it looked the same way in all browsers.
Does anyone know what is going on here? Is there some sort of communication going on behind the scene that I am not seeing (such as, if unfollowed link = blue, then followed link = purple)? Do I need to edit the XML file? How?
Advice appreciated! Thanks!

I have no idea what happened, but I as long as the problem is presently gone, I'm happy.

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:

What is up with my link color being blue??

On this page:
http://www.dobiemaxwell.com/contact.html
The email link is blue. However, I have the parameters set in Page Properties to be the same red as the other links.
Why is this happening?
Thanks!

You're being tripped up by some basic errors in the code:
1. Local desktop references in the code
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file:///C|/Users/Shelley/Desktop/mm_restaurant1.css" type="text/css" />
This line (which appears on every page and needs to be changed) is pointing to a style sheet on your local desktop.
DW inserts file:///C|Users/Shelley/Desktop when there's no site defined in DW because it does not know where your local site is located on your hard drive.
But that reference won't have any effect on the web because no-one but you has access to your desktop so, if the server can't find the file, it gets ignored.
Have you defined a site in Dreamweaver? This is step 1 for all website creation in DW.
The code should read something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mm_restaurant1.css" type="text/css" />
2. Around Line 46 is this
a:link {
color:#B70000; /*
text-decoration: none;
Delete /* which is an opening comment marker (without a closing one).
It's causing the rest of the style rules in the page to be treated as a single unclosed comment i.e. they'll all be ignored.
3. Much of this block of code is redundant and contains some syntax errors:
a:link {
color:#B70000; /*
text-decoration: none;
a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
color: #B70000;
a:active {
text-decoration: none;
text-decoration: none;a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
a:active {
text-decoration: none;
text-decoration: none;a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
a:active {
text-decoration: none;
Replace the above with:
a {
text-decoration: none;
color:#B70000;

Need help with link colors.....

New assignment at school (our 4th project).
Our teacher has given us a preformatted .html document that we
are not allowed to touch at all.
Having a hard time grasping working this way......
How do I change the color of the link in the top header
without changing the color of the other links?
How do I line the four paragraph divs up across my page
horizontally (left to right)?
http://student.ccbcmd.edu/~rsmit459/a_study_in_css/index.html

The div that the "Select a Design" and it's links are in is
called "#styles".
I put this code into my .css file and it did nothing:

Problems with link colors

I am currently using DW8 and I have been using Dreamweaver
since DW2 . I am working on a site for an artist, where the
thumbnails will be links to the pictures. (Right now I only have it
set up fot the client to see if the colors of the paintings are
approximately correct.)
Because the background is dark, I set my link colors to a
bright gold, which is what shows up in the Dreamweaver design view.
But when I view it in my browser, the links are the default blue
and purple, which does not look right on the page.
I deleted the link to the style sheet, set the page
properties to the gold color links, but they still show up blue in
the browser. I have gone through the code... the links are set for
golds....but they still show up the default colors.
I am ready to tear my hair, the client is unhappy, and I do
NOT know what to do.
Any help out there??

Have you cleared the browser cache?
Do you have the links in this order:
(LoVeHA ) Link, Visited, Hover Active
If it's not that, then post a link to your page - it has to
be in your code
of in your css

Link colors and formats not WYSIWYG

I'm having trouble with Link colors. I have the Link Format set to a certain colors but what I see after I publish my site is a crap shoot. Sometimes the change takes sometimes it doesn't, and often what I see in Safari 4/5 or Firefox is not the same as I have set in iWeb. And yes I force a page refresh by clearing the cache and reloading the pages every time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. So far I like how WYSIWYG iWeb is but this one problem has plagued me for some time now.

When you set the color use the Web Safe color pallet from the color pane:

Problem insurting html with iWeb

Hi,
I would like to add this menu that I created in html (http://www.carnet2voyages.com/menu.html) to a page of my site (http://www.carnet2voyages.com) with iWeb.
I copied the code in "insert html fragment" in iweb, but the menu is too big for my page and font-size doesn't seem to work in the head.
fontsize seems to work in <body>, but there is a problem with the links
Is it possible to put <head> in fragment? If not how can we work on the <head> section?
Thank you for your help.

Nothing wrong with the menu file. You may want to add a [DOCTYPE|http://www.alistapart.com/articles/doctype>.
If it is to wide, eihter remove a menu item or increase the width of Accueil.html . But I displayed the menu on top of the page and it should fit.
Any changes to the menu, like fontsize, color etc., should be done in the menu file.
To make the menu work in a webwidget add target="_top" to every url in the menu. Otherwise a page will open in the tiny space of the menu. So it should look like this:
+<a class="menu1" href="http://www.carnet2voyages.com/Ouest-Americain/Infos.html" target="_top">Infos</a>+

Setting link colors

The link colors I set using the Inspector appear as I want them in iWeb, but aren't being changed on published web pages. I read in this forum:
... The thing with hyperlink colors is to make sure that the "Normal" and "Visited" colors and U settings are the same for each link ...
BUT surely it must be possible (and is certainly desirable) to have different 'Normal' and 'Visited' colors?
How can I do this, and make my chosen colors appear on published pages?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can have any combination of normal and visited colors for each text based hyperlink on your page. You are referring to text based hyperlinks, right?
What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?

Controling link colors in javascript

I have 3 links next to each other, one is the addtoany social bookmark (code below, inserted with web maestro), one is an html snippet and one is an iweb link. The link colors do not match (such as visited). How do you control the link colors in code like below? link, hover, visited, etc. Don't assume I know anything...lol. I did try some standard HTML, but that did not work. Is there a javascript approach?
Is there a more appropriate web site to ask javascript questions?
THanks

Why blog with iweb

o.k. since i am new to this iweb thing and blogging with it i have a question. what is the benefit of blogging with iweb? i feel like there are so many downsides to it and i am paying for this service. I could be using another blog service for free or little money and have it not be this difficult. i just feel like i am so loimited and i feel like my blog does not even work on my friends computers who are PC users and run internet explorer.
some things i am having challenges with:
* putting HTML in my blog. (i know it can be done but i'm told if you modify the blogs HTML code then i can cripple my commenting system)
* changing colors of certain text in my template
*adding photos to my blog, they seem to need to be made small before i import them otherwise i will use up my space rather quickly.
* (this is more of a question) can i install .png files into my blog or does it have to be a .jpg? i would like to insert files that do not have the white bkg and the only way i can do that is if it is a .png file.
those are just some of my issues for now. am i right? are these legitimate issues wth using the blog with iweb? or am i just crazy ...LOL! :P
if there are easy ways to fix these issues i would soooooo love some help as a new iweb user.
Also another thought was could some of these issues be fixed with leopard when it comes out? does anyone have any idea?
that's all i have for now. i will post again if i can thing of more questions.

Hi Dena,
As Old Toad mentioned, iWeb can be used for many kinds of web sites. The link he gave is a great place to get a sense of what can be created. Blogging is one of the components of iWeb and blogs can be easily created. Yet, iWeb might not meet the needs of everyone.
If one does not want to spend time under the hood of iWeb, tweaking the html, trying to create things that iWeb does not automatically do which other blogging sites and software provides, then there are other services and software available that are designed specifically and exclusively for blogging. One does not need to get "under the hood" (though most of them allow it), If you like to tinker with the "innards" you will be able to tweak your iWeb blogging site or any other of the iWeb components to meet most of your needs.
iWeb is good at what it does, in fact it is very good at what it does. It just might not meet the needs of everyone. It is still a work in progress that provides the non html, css coder, or professionally trained designer, the chance to get on the web without the previously required knowledge of html, css etc.

Vote Here: Link Color for Blank White Template

Okay I'll have the Blank White template ready tonight and I'll let you guys decide what the navigation bar styles and hyper link colors should be.
Right now they're a beautiful Aqua color: #0080FF or 0,128,255
For this template, I think I'll make a bunch of variations so if half of you want blue links and half want black with underlines (or whatever) I'll make them both.
Please specify as much detail as you want, i.e.
Nav bar default: size 11, color #777, verdana, bold
Nav bar selected: size 11, color #000, times, normal
Nav bar hover: etc, etc etc
Hyperlink normal:
Hyperlink hover:
Hyperlink visited:
Body text:
Titles/Headings:
that covers the basics...
I will be unlocking the entire template where it makes sense so that you can delete any object. This excludes the required fields for the blog and podcast obviously because those won't work if you delete the fields
Don't worry if you don't see this for three days. I'll watch the thread regardless and make versions based on common preferences.
SB

Suzanne
Given that the white template is just that, and while Aqua is a really nice colour, I think I'd be suggesting that users of the white template will get maximum compatibility with the design elements they may add to it if the treatment of hyperlinks etc is kept to "standard" colors and texts as much as is possible.
Boring ... yes, but maximim design integration.
I am also not sure I'd be mixing a sans serif typestyle with a serifed typed style in the one template as well (Verdana and Times) - try to keep all typestyles either sans serif or serifed.
Given yours and Cyclosaurus skils I would have thought that the two of you would team up and develop an iWeb specific template editing tool that any idiot, like me, could use to modify a template to our own needs / desires / wants - rather than you writing templates yourself.
Just a thought at not worth more than $0.00000002c.

Setting up Online chat or realt ime messaging with iWeb

I am new to this, so apologies if question is niave.
I want to be able to to set up a messaging system through a web-site (created with iWeb) & have an online chat facilitiy preferably in real time, rather than posts on a messge board, so I can ask questions & direct the chat.
Its for a structured discussion for some PhD research I am doing.
Is there some way to combine iChat & iWeb. I was thinking through the 'group' service on dot.mac, using jabber on bonjour?
BTW (I have never used jabber or bonjour before, so all advice gratefully received).
Many Thanks

Unfortunately this first version of iWeb doesn't really lend itself to doing what it is you are trying to do. In order for you to achieve this you will have to get under the bonnet so to speak. You can either have a link such as the one you will find here: http://web.mac.com/justin_stevens/iWeb/Lounge/About%20Me.html which will initiate an iChat / AIM session with you directly. (If you wish to do something like this I can help you manually edit the necessary files). Or else you can try something slightly more clever as outlined here: http://homepage.mac.com/cherrypop/iblog/C1900478167/E20060301171845/index.html The advantage of the latter is that your web site will show your offline / online status as well as initiating a chat session with you when clicked. Hope this is of some help to you. Don't hesitate to get in touch should you require anything further.
Kind Regards,
Justin

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??
