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

  • Problem with links on email templates

    Problem with links on email templates
    Hi,
    We have been having issues with links on our email templates. Some of the links point to the following URL:
    http://server'sname/thirdparty/FCKeditor/editor/fckeditor.html?InstanceName=emailTemplatesDTO.htmlBody&Toolbar=NewscaleFCKEditorToolBar#URL
    Sometimes we get “Unknown internal error” on the web page.
    Can anyone help or advise on how to resolve this issue?
    Many thanks,
    Wesley.

    Hi Wesley,
    This is rather late, but we've seen the same thing frequently (and I believe can replicate it).  It's caused when you a creating a new email by copying the content of an existing one with a name space in it.
    Upon copying, the link gets scrambled.  The approach we use is to copy the email in to a new template, then strip out all of the URL links and add them back in.
    Thanks!

  • Problem with links for external user

    Hi,
    We´re using SAP NetWeaver Portal 2004s SPS 10 and we have a problem with links within notification-mails:
    The link to the document (e.g. within a subscription mail) consists of "http:///...". Only user using the portal within our network can open this links. All external user can´t open this links. How can I change the URL so that our external user can open the links, too?
    Thanks for help,
    Sven Keller

    We already have another URL for external usage. My problem is how to define that created links to documents and folder are automatically using the external URL.
    If somebody receives an email (e.g. subscription) the URL to the folder is:
    http://<portalserver>:51000/irj/go/km/navigation/documents/Public Documents/Documentation
    But it should be:
    https://<externalportal>/irj/go/km/navigation/documents/Public Documents/Documentation

  • Indesign CS6 on MACs with OS 10.8 are having problems with links

    Hi
    Indesign CS6 on MACs with 10.8 are having problems with links. All links to other files have to be updated when opening a file although definitely nothing has changed to the linked files.
    We can rule out our company's networking and the system hosting the files (HELIOS software on RedHat Linux VM). This happens with newly created Indesign files and with old ones. E.g. we create a file on Tuesday, save it and open it again on the exact same MAC on Wednesday and all links to other fiels (.indd, .png, .bmp, etc. nothing uncommon) have to be updated as they all show the yellow triangle + black exclamation mark symbol next to them. Has anybody else experienced this, What can we do? We have tried absolutley everything and updated all software from MAC OS to CS6 itself but nothing seems to help on the long run.
    Any further information required?
    M. Miller

    Thanks for your quick reply.
    We actually noticed that there also seems to be something wrong with the timestamps:
    If we open the infos via the MAC finder to a file (.psd e.g.) which is linked in one of our indesign files, it states a certain date of creation.
    If we then switch to the Indesign file we just opened in which we had to update all links and open the infos to exactly the same file we looked at in the finder, a different date of creation is stated. So there also seems to be a mistake here (hope it's clear what I mean).
    We are ruling out our network as the error cannot be "re-enacted". We have created numerous test files in Indesign (simple white page containing one link to a .psd file which is also used in one of the supposedly defective files) and have opened them on various MACs with various OS versions over the past days/weeks but unfortunately the files open without any notifications or errors.
    Just as a background: a few months ago, the problem seemed to occur between MACs with differing OS, 10.6 - 10.8 at first. A file which was created on a 10.6 MAC could not be opened without updating all links on a 10.8 MAC. That is why we updated everything to 10.8. The error did not occur for about 2-3 weeks but then reoccured again.?
    Have you heard anything similar?

  • Problems with "no color" in the "Fill and Stroke"

    I am having problems with “no color” in the “Fill and Stroke” function of Flash CS4 Pro.
    I had been using CS4 for 10 days and everything worked fine. Then I tried experimenting with various color combinations (along with “no color”) for “Fill and Stroke” for a simple button. Suddenly CS4 locked up on me while I was working with the “color panel”. A second color panel appeared in the upper left corner and the program was not responding. All I could do was to end the CS4 task.
    After that, whenever I created even a simple rectangle, at first the colors would appear as indicated for “Fill and Stroke”, but when I selected the object to see its properties, either the stroke or the fill color box would have a red slash line, indicating a “no color”, and I couldn’t select the color box to change it using the ink bottle tool, although the other box worked fine.
    Rebooting did not help. So I uninstalled CS4 (and didn’t keep the preferences), rebooted, then reinstalled it. The problem was still there. Logging on as another user didn’t help. I tried restoring the Windows system to before I installed CS4 and resinstalling it and that didn’t work. I have a disfunctional CS4 now and I don’t know what to do to fix it. Please help me. Thank you.

    Have you updated flash to 10.0.2?  Have you played around with a bunch of different selections, objects, and so forth to see if this box is always incorrect?  I think there's some particular selection (order of selecting things, and so on), where the color swatches in one location don't work as expected. However, it should not happen all the time and from what I recall it was fairly easy to work around (I can't even figure out what this was - so probably not it, as it seems hard to run into or perhaps now fixed).
    Also make sure you have the stroke selected - if you don't have everything selected, either the fill or stroke will show no color and dim depending on the selection.

  • Strange problem with linking to external vob-file

    I have a strange problem with linking to external vob-file. I
    have created a link using BudApi:
    on mouseup
    set OK = baOpenFile ( the pathname &
    "Files\General\Video\VTS_01_1.VOB", "normal")
    end
    This code opens mpg-videos correctly, but nothing happens
    when I try to open vob-files with the same code. The strangest
    thing is that when I change the default program for vob-files to
    WinDVD this code works and the file opens, but when I change the
    default program to Nero Showtime this code doesn't do anything
    (when I open the file 'manually' from the folder, it opens
    correctly on Nero Showtime). My client uses Nero Showtime, so I
    really would appreciate any help on this one.

    If you open a command prompt, do you get an association
    listed like this
    example for .txt files:
    C:\>assoc .txt
    .txt=txtfile
    C:\>ftype txtfile
    txtfile="D:\Program Files\JGsoft\EditPadLite\EditPadLite.exe"
    "%1"

  • I continue to have problems with links in email, they don't  Work.

    I continue to have problems with links in email, they don't work. When I called apple support she said to hard boot by holding off and home keys and restart. However this is only since the new release of the operating system,  it happens ever day and it's getting OLD.. Any solutions?

    Yes, almost daily since the iOS update. Is there a permanent solution. And does the hard reboot hurt the iPad?

  • Having some problems with links

    OK, I've used this way of doing this for a while, but recently I started having trouble with getting this to work.
    I have a site with a link to the organization's current newsletter.  I have a "previous page" link so that you can go back to the page you came from in the main site.  The newsletter opens up in it's own blank page.  This link no longer works and I have no idea why.
    This is the code that is supposed to make this link work:  <a href="javascript:history.go(-1);">Previous Page</a>
    The second part of the problem involves the left sidebar links which are named achor links for within the newsletter page.  In the newsletter there are usually Program Recap articles which usually include a link to a separate page of event photos.  The page has the same sidebar links to the named anchors.  I used to be able to have these go back to the newsletter page to that named anchor.  But now I can't seem to make them work.
    What I've done in the past is to link back to the newsletter and at the end of this link to the page add the named anchor link like this:
    1112Visions_Iss1.html/#prezmessage
    Sometimes this works and sometimes not.  The problems don't end there.  Some of these links render the newsletter page with the photos some of the links go to a page that doesn't show the links.  At this point I have re-done all of the links, I have rebooted both Dreamweaver and Firefox and it just keeps doing the same thing.  I'm just baffled by this.
    I'll post the code for both pages in the hopes that someone can tell me what is not right and how to make this work.
    Here is the code for the newsletter's main page:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

        <h2> <a name="prezmessage" id="prezmessage"></a>President&#8217;s Message</h2>
        <p><strong><img src="../images/Susan-Flaherty-photo.jpg" alt="Susan Flaherty" width="145" height="159" class="fltlft" />Dear Fellow HFMA Members,</strong></p>
        <p>Welcome to the 2011-2012 HFMA fiscal year. Thank you for your continued membership and support of HFMA.  I look forward to working with the members, the board of directors, and officers during the upcoming year to continue the success of the Northeast Ohio Chapter.  </p>
        <p>Speaking of success – I attended the HFMA Annual National Institute in June 2011 and was proud to be from the Northeast Ohio Chapter. Our Chapter won three awards – Gold Award for Membership Growth and Retention, Hottum Award for Education Performance Improvement, and a Yerger Special <img src="../images/Manfull_ANI_DSC_0027.jpg" width="200" height="200" align="top" class="fltrt" />Recognition Award for the February 2011 Patient Financial Services Program.  In addition, the Northeast Ohio Chapter had two of the three winners of the National HFMA Future Financial Leaders Award. The award recognizes those future leaders who provide innovative and exemplary performance resulting in organizational performance improvement. Congratulations to Jill Barber and Kelly Linson from Southwest Community Health System for receiving this award. Finally, as many of you know, National HFMA has performance targets relating to education, membership, certification, financial strength, and other matters for all chapters. Our Chapter achieved 100% during this last fiscal year in meeting these targets. While it is important to celebrate our past successes, I and the other chapter leaders realize that we are taking on a big responsibility to maintain this level of excellence. We will need the continued support and participation of the membership to ensure we continue to achieve this level of success.</p>
        <p>As part of planning for the upcoming year, the Chapter officers had the opportunity to meet the National HFMA Chair, Gregory M. Adams, FHFMA. His theme for the fiscal year is “Believe to Achieve.” Following is an excerpt of his comments and explanation of the theme. In health care today, it sometimes seems like we are being asked to do the impossible. The industry is preparing for an influx of millions of newly insured patients in a reform environment where payments are shrinking and expectations around quality are growing. &quot;Believe to Achieve&quot; encompasses the keys to success in this new environment. It reflects the need to believe in your organization's mission and in others who share your dedication to achieving that mission. It means believing in yourself and in your ability to step out of your comfort zone into the new roles and responsibilities required to succeed in the reform era. Last but not least, it means believing in the possibility of a better future. In health care, there have always been naysayers who believe that the problems of the day are just too difficult to overcome. Their voices have been particularly loud, of late. But you can choose to believe that a better future is within reach, and to dedicate your professional life to making that happen. You can only achieve what you believe. </p>
        <p>Finally, I want to thank all of you who volunteered your time to Chapter activities over the past year. The fact that you chose to devote part of your time to HFMA indicates the value you perceive in your membership. The strength of any chapter lies in its volunteers. I hope you are able to attend the annual volunteer appreciation outing on August 31, 2011 to celebrate the successes of our Chapter, hear presentations on relevant industry topics, and enjoy a networking round of golf or visit to the spa. We are always looking for members to get involved and continue the long tradition of volunteer service that has been a hallmark of our Chapter for many years. Please don't hesitate to contact me, one of the other Chapter officers or directors, or a committee chair if you are interested in volunteering. </p>
    I look forward to a great year and hope to see you at an upcoming HFMA event.
    <p>Sincerely,</p>
    <p>Susan Flaherty<br />
      President<br />
      Northeast Ohio Chapter of HFMA    </p>

        <h2><strong><a name="certification" id="certification"></a>CHFP Assistance Program</strong></h2>
    <p>The North East Ohio Chapter (NEOC) of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) continues to encourage members to pursue and achieve certification as a Certified Healthcare Financial Professional (CHFP).  </p>
    <p>Many members who successfully pass the exam are eligible for reimbursement from their employers for some portion of the examination fee and/or on-line study material fee. To encourage and assist those members for whom employer reimbursement is not available, the Chapter offers a limited financial award program through the Chair of the Certification Committee. <br />
      <br />
      <strong>Current CHFP Award Program</strong> <br />
      Effective June 1, 2011, the NEO HFMA Chapter Board has approved annual funding for a maximum of 5 awards of $200.00 each for successful completion of the CHFP exam.  NEO HFMA members who have successfully completed the CHFP exam on or after June 1, 2011 and who will NOT be reimbursed by their employer for any portion of either the examination fee and/or the online study material fee are eligible to apply.  Chapter awards will be issued to the first 5 approved applications.</p>
    <p><strong>Reimbursement Application Procedure </strong> <br />
      Upon successful completion of the CHFP exam, a member who will NOT be reimbursed by their employer for any portion of either the examination fee or the on-line study materials may complete and submit an NEO HFMA expense form in application for a financial award.<em>  </em>A copy of the exam result e-mail notification and a release authorizing HFMA National to confirm that the member has passed the exam is required. Application for the award must be made within 8 weeks of receiving exam results. The funds allocated to members will be reviewed annually and is subject to change at the discretion of the Chapter board. </p>

        <h3><strong>2011 GHALI</strong></h3>
        <p><span class="style24">by </span>Lisa Hilling    <span class="style24"><br />
          </span></p>
        <p>The 2011 GHALI was held at the Glenmoor Country Club in Canton, Ohio. This historic and tradition filled site, initally started as a seminary high school for boys preparing for the priesthood.  In addition, this classic gothic building was built during the years 1930-1931 with the first class starting in late October of 1931. The building contains approximately 167,000 square feet. The Wolstein family purchased the 381 acres of land and building in 1989 that many considered to be one of the most desirable tracts in Stark County.  After two years of renovation, the spa portion of the club opened in December of 1991. On July 1, 1992 Jack Nicklaus took part in the gala celebration which opened the golf course. The Grand Opening of the Clubhouse in September of 1992 followed.<br />
          <br />
          Our theme for this year’s event was “Entering the Era of Accountability”.  As a result, the conference included educational sessions led by healthcare industry leaders and a variety of pertinent topics. Highlights included a panel discussion, “How Organizations Develop Vendor Relationships” for which there was standing room only attendance as well as sessions led by prominent professors, politicians and other professionals. Attendees were given opportunities to research products and services present at the vendor booths during vendor fair times and throughout the 2 ½ days. In keeping with tradition, the networking opportunities were abundant, starting out with Wednesday’s always very popular casino night. Thursday’s networking events included your choice of an 18 hole golf scramble, a visit to “The Spa at Glenmoor” or a enjoyable wine tasting event followed by an evening banquet which enable our attendee to sample more of Glenmoor’s fine cuisine. We concluded that evenings events with music, Texas Hold-em and “minute to win-it” activities, as well as entertaining karaoke by our members. <br />
          <br />
        Special thanks to everyone who participated on the GHALI Planning Committee for a job well done. The planning for next year is already underway and we welcome your input. Please make sure to watch for details of next year’s conference so you won’t miss out on everything this event has to offer.</p>

    <h3><strong>Healthcare Hot Topics – Part 1</strong></h3>
    <p>by Brian Nestor</p>
    <p>The Healthcare Hot Topics seminar was held at the beautiful new state-of- the-art Ahuja Medical Center in Beachwood, Ohio on June 23, 2011. The Rosenberg Conference Suite was filled with more than 50 attendees, there to hear about hot topics in healthcare today. <br />
      <br />
    Ahuja President James Benedict welcomed the attendees and talked to the current &amp; future state of the Ahuja Medical Center. He was followed by Gigi Umbel who went over the layout of the hospital and spoke to the challenges as a Finance Director of a new hospital.</p>
    <p> The three healthcare topics covered at this program were:</p>
    <ul>
      <li><em>Challenges of Compliant Research Billing</em> by Katherine Hammerhofer of University Hospitals</li>

        <p align="left"><strong>Could Automated Hand-Wash Checks Reduce Infections—and Costs?</strong><em>Note: This article originally appeared in HFMA’s Healthcare Cost Containment newsletter (<a href="

    Because I know enough to be dangerous...  I was trying to extend the two outside columns down....  Instead of just using faux columns which I have fixed since I posted the question.
    The other link problem is the left sidebar links.  When you go to the event photos page I have a repeat of the sidebar links that are on the newsletter page.  I used named anchors on the newsletter page to link to the particular article.  From the Event Photos page the links look like this:
    <a href="1112Visions_Iss1.html/#puzzle" target="_self">[Puzzle]</a>
    The problem I am having is that some of these go to the newsletter page and the anchor and some do not (I get an error message saying it  can't find the page).  To add to the problem is that when we choose say the President's Message, when it goes to the newsletter page and the correct anchor, the newsletter page is missing all the links to the graphics... the photos are missing the graphic for the faux columns is missing.  It makes no sense.  When I preview the newsletter page from Dreamweaver everything shows up fine.
    I do not know if all of this is being caused because I haven't posted this stuff to the site or what.  I've tried re-booting both the browser and Dreamweaver, dumping the cache and still the same nonsense.
    Got any ideas?

  • How do I fix problem with linked and cropped image frames not printing properly when spanning pages?

    We are using InDesign (ID) to develop and print church bulletins which contain a combination of text frames and graphics. One of the graphic types we use are TIF files which are high-resolution scans of hymns.
    A hymn usually has a combination of the musical score, plus the lyrics - with many verses., so the modular structure is 'staff' composed of a treble clef, followed by verses, followed by a base clef.
    If the example above had 6 verses instead of one, we would crop the image by adjusting the frame, so that the treble clef and the desired verses showed through the frame.
    We would then copy and link the frame - piggy back - adjusting the next content window etc....so we build a custom version of the music as a series of linked frames - each with the same base image, but a different frame position.
    So this works fine, when we do this on a single page, but when we then add a 'last staff' at the top of the following page, we encounter print problems with some output devices.
    Imagine a two-page spread, with a full page of music on the left, and the last staff (treble clef, verses, base clef) unit as a separately linked frame at the top of the right page of the spread.
    It displays correctly, and will print individually as pages correctly, but when we print it as a booklet, the last frame drops out and we have blank space.
    I can print the document to PDF and it works fine, but if I print it to a copier or laser printer I get drop out.
    It is inconsistent.
    Previews are always okay. Individual page prints are okay, but when you print the entire document, the last frame in this kind of linked series gets blanked.
    If we create and name the image differently, and call it in as a new image - (not linked to the previous), but it is still a large image that is cropped to a small piece, then it doesn't print.
    If we save the last frame as a different image type (take the TIFF file into photoshop, crop it and save it as a jpg - so it is only the 'snippet') and then import it, it works fine.
    So my question to you InDesigners....is there some setting or tip or trick I need to know to be able to link a series of frames with the same base image, but different crops and make it span across two pages properly.
    Or do we need to play this game of crop and trim the image so that it doesn't drop out?
    Any thoughts, advice, direction would be gratefully received!

    I did a lot of such hymn things in the past, but I was alway working on the scans in Photoshop, like adjusting, retouching spots and cropping. And I was always seperating those images to be more flexible so I never run into such a problem.
    I am always scanning in a higher quality level than I would need, I scan it in color, this allows me to eliminate paper color easily, even if I need 1-bit images at the end, I do it in color, so I can also turn the image.
    I did once run into a similar problem with a scan I have got from a copier-scanner machine (it was not a song). But saving as PSD resolved my problem.
    So I would suggest: Open your files in Photoshop, resave them as PSD files and use those instead. If you use 1-bit images (which is fine for this type of images) you should use a resolution equal to the printer's resolution.

  • Problem with photos' colors

    Hi,
    I have a problem with colors of photos which I'm using in a. InDesign document.
    I've created a 20 page catalog, with first and last pages for the front and back of the cover. I placed one photo on the first page and second on the last page. When I opened them earlier on in Photoshop they were matching perfectly, so I figured that it will be the same in InDesign. When I placed them in Indesign it turned out that the photo on the first page has a different color saturation (lower) than the one on the last page. It looks as if the first page was converted to CMYK and the last page was still in RGB mode (the photos were initially in RGB).
    I decided to change the color preferences of the photos in photoshop to CMYK and saved thm again for InDesign, but it didn't help (I also checked all of the doc and color preferences in InDesign and all looked fine). It seems that colors are different on the last page only. Is it possible that it has a different color preferences set up? I'm a new InDesign user and I would be gratefull for You help :-)

    It sounds like you have transparency of some sort (effects, drop shadow, tranparent image?) on the front and not on the back, and that the transparency blend space is set to CMYK instead of RGB while your image is RGB.
    Edit > Transparency Blend Space > Document RGB

  • Anyone having a problem with links in Safari after upgrading?

    okay,  Before the upgrade to os5, we were able to go to the website to get  the e-edition of our local paper.  The way their website is designed you first see part of the first page and then there is a link to take you to the full page.   Everything worked just fine.  Then after the upgrade, last Saturday, i am able to get the first part of the page, but when I click on the link to access the full page it goes to a blank page -about:blank.  I do have safari on my laptop (an ibm) and the link works fine there.  Is it a problem with Safari, the settings on my ipad or what?  Please help?

    Is your problem with iMovie as the title suggests or with iDVD?

  • Sync problems with ipod color

    Hi I'm having problems copying music onto my ipod. I am running iTunes 5 with the latest iPod software (1.2 from ipod updater 2005-09-23) on a windows XP platform with Service pack 2. My iPod is connected to my computer through USB 2.0.
    When I plug my ipod to my computer, everything works fine, it gets recognized, I see the "do not disconnect" icon on the ipod and it starts syncing but the problem is, way before it finishes tranfering the songs, my ipod comes back to the main menu. I can read in iTunes that the transfer is complete and that it's ok to disconnect my ipod, even though it was NOT complete!
    This really bugs me because I can't put all my songs onto my ipod and have to disconnect/reconnect it all the time to actually put my songs in it. What can I do to keep the transfer "alive" ?? please someone help me.

    Hi,
    I have the same type of problem with my iPod 20GB color running XP Home SP2. This happens when I import a large number of songs (over 100 or so) from my CD's in iTunes at one time. It will disconnect and then restart the transfer over again several times. I figured out that when your iPod is actually connected and doing the transfer, if you right click on the iPod (example: Joe Smiths iPod) in the iTunes left side menu, and click on "update" every 40 or 50 songs or so it will transfer everything without disconnecting. I discovered this yesterday while transferring about 270 songs to my iPod after it tried to automatically do it about three times. I don't know if this is the "real" fix for this but it worked for me. The problem doesn't appear to happen with a couple of CD's worth of songs.
    Good luck!

    Hi  - Go ahead and try the steps in this document.  It will walk you through cleaning the contacts on both the cartridge and in the carriage.  What can happen over time is ink residue can accumulate on the contacts preventing the ink cartridges from working properly.  If this doesn't resolve the issue, try setting the cartridge with the nozzles face down on a damp paper towel for about 45 seconds just to resolve any problems with the ink nozzles.
    Hope that helps.

  • Problem with DNG Color Profiles in Lightroom 5.4

    Hello folks,
    I recently updated from LR 5.3 to Lightroom 5.4 and since then I am having problem when using dng color profiles which were created with Colorchecker Passport. Every time I use such a profile which was created for my Nikon D 800 I get very greenish tones in the pictures.
    I use Windows 7 Pro on a HP Z 210 Workstation. The monitor is a hardware-calibrated Quato which was recently calibrated.
    Does anyone have this problem too and - if yes - know how to fix it?
    Thanks!
    Yours, Albert
    PS: As English isn't my mother tongue I apologize for any mistakes in the text above.

    Hello Andrew,
    I do have a Nikon D 800 and a Fuji X-E1. I haven's noticed a problem with the Fuji so far. I think I will recalibrate my monitor tomorrow and see if the problem still exists.
    I can supply raws and DNG profiles but I don't know where I should upload them - I suggest I could do it on my own webspace. Would that be ok?
