Hyperlink styling

[garycwood84]

I want to have more than one hyperlink style (colour, bold/regular) on my site. I can configure the default style in website properties, but is it possible to override these on particular links, to make the link a different colour, and say have some links go bold on hover, and others underline?

Thanks,

Gary

Not natively or easily. Though I'm sure there are ways to fake it or cheat.

Any ideas how?

As Garys states I don't think it can be done natively in Xara but could probably be achieved using css and/or js but why would you need to do this?

...but why would you need to do this?

I have a dark footer on all of my pages. In the footer, I want the links to be white, and go orange on hover. For links on the page, which is white, I want the text to be green and go black on hover.

Might be easier to change the color of the footer (I always look for the easy solution).

Might be easier to change the color of the footer...

It would certainly be easier, but it woudn't look as good!

I can achieve what I need using a rollover layer, although it's not as straightforward as if I were able to define multiple link styles. I'll do it that way for now, unless anyone suggests a better solution, and then raise a feature request...

Or use buttons in your footer.

Ah, brilliant Egg. Make buttons that look like text links.
