Hi Tara,

In VSD, you will need to close your site and re-open it, then choose "Menu->Settings>Standard Settings for new pages..."

(This menu option is greyed if you edit anything, so hence I say do it from a freshly opened site in VSD).

Now, in here you have several choices. The two that matter are the bottom two:
Link Colors (Global Setting)
Link Underline Options

Between these two settings you can change the color of text in links dependent on their visit status and you can also decide to omit the underlining of links by unchecking the 4 boxes on the Underline Options area.

Make your choices and click "Apply to all pages". Then confirm this, save the site and publish it.

When you go to view the site, be sure to press CTRL+F5 to force your browser to load from the server rather than cache.

If you only want it for certain pages then "Allow Advanced text" will be the ticket.

Will the "Allow Advanced Test" allow the customization of an object that does not contain text, like the images that are links in Tara's case?

I thought we we taking about text links after she responded GunSmoke's post.

The blue underline isn't coming from any of VSD's settings. It's a bottom border in the colorbox code:

Ok were talking about images. I just looked at the site.


Edit: you named your pages .css
This will cause some serious issues.
Delete or rename these pages.

The blue borders are not only under the gallery images, they've carried over to the footer links.
Something wonky going on there. Sure those page names aren't helping.

Tara asked...


Or, as Gunsmoke recommended, just remove the " border-bottom:1px solid #416CE5;"
Either way, you use the Object Properties panel after highlighting the HTML box to get to that code.

I'll leave it to the experts to sort it out

Hey Tara, as you can see in the quote, this HTML was inserted by user...that's you. So, to remove it you would click on the HTML box that you inserted it into. Then click the 'object' button at the top on VSD. On the right where the object properties are shown you click on 'edit html'. There you will see code. You have 2 options, body HTML and header HTML. Check both for this code and remove the code that matches what's highlighted above.

Hope this helps.

Oh ok, I see now. However, I didn't put all that code in. Something must be automatic with the lightbox html. When I open the html box that put code into, this is all I put in there -

<link href="css/lightbox.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="js/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/lightbox.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.smooth-scroll.min"></script>
<script src="js/jquery-ui-1.8.18.custom.min"></script>
<script> jQuery('a.gallery').colorbox(); </script>

I do want to remove link lines from the images, as well as the text.

As far as text, I made sure that all link colors were black. And everything under Underline Link Options has been checked because I want to remove the underlining from all links.

So in response to using Advanced Text, what do I do after I select this to remove the lines?

Hi Tara,

I can't understand this. Please open your page called Portfolio.html in VSD and where you have the html box for the Colorbox, double click it to view the html.

Now, you should see this:

<style type="text/css">
body{font:12px/1.2 Verdana, Arial, san-serrif; padding:0 10px;}
a:link, a:visited{text-decoration:none; color:#416CE5; border-bottom:1px solid #416CE5;}
h2{font-size:13px; margin:15px 0 0 0;}
</style>
<link media="screen" rel="stylesheet" href="colorbox/colorbox.css" />
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="colorbox/jquery.colorbox.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
//Examples of how to assign the ColorBox event to elements
$(".example1").colorbox();
});
</script>


You can remove everything between <style> and </style> as these rules are causing the blue underline and taking over as the page progresses. Also remove the actual <style> and </style> tags as well as the code between them!

This should result in your colorbox script working fine but with the global rules you have set in VSD being implemented throughout the page...

You have this kind of problem on About.html too and possibly on other pages. So, check the scripts on them all and remove all style attributes in them...
