Multi Line Text Links Don´t show correctly

Hello,

I seem to have a problem with text links which are longer than one text line.

For a website I´ve been making text links which are 2 lines long. However, when I apply a link to it (Selecting both lines and pressing link button) and
previewing it, a strange thing happens...

Both lines look like two seperate links. Although they link to the same page.
When mouse is over the first line, only the first line changes color as set in the website tab under link colors. The second line of the same link doesn´t change color. Unless you point at the second line but then again the first line is not lit.

Does anyone know how to make both lines change color (even if only one line is pointed with the mouse, Frontpage could do it) so you wouldn´t think these are two seperate ones?

Could be I´m missing an obvious point here, but I haven´t been able to make it work in several days...

Thanks in advance

Welcome DigiGarage, I see what you mean. I expect this is due to the way XWD uses divs to create single lines of text. I'm not sure if a workaround is possible. You can group the text but this just creates a graphic which is not so good for SEO. Perhaps other members can come up with way around this.

Well you could use <a href=http://www.talkgraphics.com>This is a linked<br>broken line of text</a> in a placeholder.

Thanks for looking into this... I Don´t wanna group em because, already sayd, the text won´t be that easy to look at, because its a small fonts.

However, the placeholder is a good idea. I´ll see into it.

Just a little disappointed that this can´t be done any easier...

Thx a lot

Instead of pressing ENTER to go to the next line (if that's what you're doing), try pressing Ctrl+ENTER.

Hi,

I´ve tried hitting CRTL+Enter but that does nothing at all...

I´ve tried with Shift+enter because I know that a hard enter isn´t the same as a soft enter, but it makes no difference in my problem.

Thx anyway :)

That was the one I meant. :D Sorry it didn't work.

I'm not sure I see the problem. I just created three text links using different methods. As far as I can tell they seem to behave just fine. That is, dual lined text links behave a single links, not as two links that target the same location.

Thanks Cursor.

But what I mean´t was that the mouse over color doesn´t change.
I have looked at your *.web file, and the only thing I´ve changed is the mouse over colour in the "website" tab in webproperties and is now back in attachment.

If you will preview the website you will see that the colour only changes of one line and not both...


Thx

I now see the problem ... but (sadly) don't have a solution.
