This isn't working for me. The link in the VSD file automatically turns blue in the program and purple in the preview. Even when I change the color codes. Also, I added the header code before creating the link as was suggested in another thread. Any ideas?
I'm trying this as a test, but the test is failing. FFFFFF was listed as the only web safe white, but the link is still underlined blue in the program and purple in the preview. I'd test this online but I'm still having trouble getting my files to present there.
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#container a:link {color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; }
#container a:visited {color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; }
#container a:hover {color: #FFFFFF text-decoration: none; }
#container a:active {color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; }
-->
</style>

</style>
You need to change those specific colors in VSD's setup Jennifer. There's a specific area for changing all the different stages of the text includeing the links, rollovers, visited, etc. It's not something you code in yourself. There's a few posts on the forums that explain how to do this in detail, I don't have the links offhand, someday I'm going to organize links for this stuff lol. I'm sure if you do a form search for the word "color" in the VSD section you should find them pretty easily

You can remove the underline on your text links in Visual Site Designer using a bit of CSS. Don't worry, it's not difficult. Just follow these steps:
1. Open your site in Visual Site Designer.
2. At the top of the window, click the Edit menu, then click Edit Header.
3. In the text box, type or paste the following code:
4. Click OK. Save your site, and now your links will not have underlines!
Optionally, if you want your links to have an underline only when someone holds their mouse cursor over them, you can type or paste this code instead:
It's the same code, just the a:hover part is removed. I hope this helps!

I tried this numerous times and it did not work. There are two tabs, Header HTML and Onload Events. Does it matter where I put the code? Clicked and saved, underlines still appeared (I copied the text as not to miss the appropriate spacing and text). I am using VSD-6. Thanks.

Did you clear cache? Try using ctrl-F5 to force a reload with cache cleared out. Otherwise you would still be seeing what was stored prior to the changes.

It worked, thanks Phil.

Used both Scott's and Cary's codes and still cannot get colors to change. Need additional advice.

Hi,
