Quick question about linked text...
|

| T Sugar 2004-04-21, 2:50 pm |
| Here's my problem: When one makes a word or words a link usually those word(s)
are given an underline by default to identify it as a link. What I'm doing is
adding a behavior to the words so that they open up a browser window with no
scroll bars. This works but the text is not giving a rollover effect. I would
like the link to have the underline show up only when you mouse over, thus
getting the little hand instead of the text bar thing. All the text links on
msnbc.com, for instance are a good example of what i'm trying to achieve. Any
answers? This can't be that hard but perhaps it involves a stylesheet, i don't
know...

| You're right about getting the underline (and color change if you want)
involving CSS -- at least that's the easy way! Set your link, active link and
visited link to the same styles (e.g. blue Helvetica 12px) and your hover link
to something else (e.g. red Helvetica 12px underline). Also, you can define a
class and then include that class in your link code.
Here's a link to a page that's part of the chemistry site I'm working on that
will show you what I mean when you view the source:

or, if it's easier:

| Definitely don't use a single font in your styles, though, when you do this.
