Re: Links and Link Colors
Hi Andrew
Make sure that you are previewing the whole site and not just the current page.
Go to Utilities >> Web properties and uncheck "use common website link colours" with the link selected.
Re: Links and Link Colors
Hello and thanks for the reply.
I deleted all the links and added them again including rollovers at it is working ok in Chrome but in the
preview (using designer preview) I still see the links as blue.
Thanks again
Andrew
Re: Links and Link Colors
Can you upload your web/xar file ? maybe we can spot where the problem is.
Re: Links and Link Colors
I think (still checking) I have sorted it. I have a few soft groups and was playing around with web links before grouping and then addling links after grouping so think it got
confused.
Thanks

Re: Links and Link Colors
Andrew - I think the suggestion was that you can change the color of the links in the Web Properties > Website tabbed section. You can specify if you want links underlined, this is good if you are not using linked colors, or you can specify your own individual colors.
Re: Links and Link Colors
Thanks for the reply.
Should this override all link coloring? Because it was not working on a global basis because I have some grouped items that did not include the "use common website link colours" unchecked.
I have it working now but would be interested to know if this should be a global command or not?
Thanks
Andrew
Re: Links and Link Colors
This is working with text links. It does not apply to groups of objects such as buttons.
If you have the underline option selected, and you ungroup a linked button, the text will have an underline.
But when you regroup the text with the button shape, the underscore and link color reverts back to the original color you specified when you made the button.
Grouped objects are treated as a single object. If you just group a plain bit of text, the text is not longer treated as text but becomes a bitmap.

Re: Links and Link Colors
Thanks,
I didn't realise that grouped objects are not seen as text (I just thought it was text with a filter, shadow etc) so I will use the HTMLtext on any text that is grouped. Thanks for the tip!
