Color rendering of hyperlink

by Vince.Rosati Sep 14, 2010 11:22AM PDT

When I put a hyperlink in an html document, the text associated with it is rendered in blue. I can change the color of the words, but not the underline. The blue does not stand out well against my red background. Is there a way to color the underline to yellow, say?

While on my computer, the text and underline show yellow. On the net, however, the underline is blue.

I use either Word 2007 ot Front Page to create the html doc.

Windows 7.

Thanks,

Vince

Looks outside what Word or Front Page can do.

In HTML the link colors are set by the link="#000000#" and vlink="000000" attributes, where 000000 are hexadecimal numbers. These attributes are setup immediately within the BODY tag.

However, browsers can ignore these for the users own choices. For example in Firefox > Tools > Options, then Content tab, the Colors button allows various options.

You may have to look at those and see what options are set.

Bob and Mark,

Thanks for the information. However, because I use a high-level html program (I am totally incompetent to write html code)I guess I will live with the current situation.

I appreciate the rapid responses.

Vince
