If you take a look at the above webpage, the internal links are blue. But when you just put your mouse cursor over it... then it goes red.
How do they do that?
I know how to make basic static websites using Frontpage but it doesnt have that hyperlink color change feature anywhere. I want to learn Dreamweaver but not sure if the program does that function.
Can anyone shed some light on how I can do this?How do make this website link change color?You may not know it, but a link has four different states that it can be in. CSS allows you to customize each state. Please refer to the following keywords that each correspond to one specific state:
* link - this is a link that has not been used, nor is a mouse pointer hovering over it
* visited - this is a link that has been used before, but has no mouse on it
* hover - this is a link currently has a mouse pointer hovering over it/on it
* active - this is a link that is in the process of being clicked
Using CSS you can make a different look for each one of these states, but at the end of this lesson we will suggest a good practice for CSS Links.
a {
color:#000066;
text-decoration:none;
cursor:pointer;
}
a:visited {
color:#336699;
}
a:hover {
color:#ff6600;
text-decoration:underline;
}
a:active {
color:#ffcc99;
cursor:wait;
}
a:link {color: #009900;}
a:visited {color: #999999;}
a:hover {color: #333333;}
a:focus {color: #333333;}
a:active {color: #009900;}
Order matters. If %26quot;a:active%26quot; precedes %26quot;a:hover%26quot;, the effects in %26quot;a:hover%26quot; will take precedence. So, in this example, you would not see the color change when the user clicks down on a link.
