I decided I didn't like the default color I picked for visited links. With the home page open in VSD I pulled up the "Adjust Page Properties" window, and changed the visited link color there.

Then I selected "Apply to all pages."

It asked me whether I wanted to apply the settings, and I selected "yes."

Then it asked me to select a target page for the settings. There is no target selection control available. There is a "page from which settings should be used" control, but nothing for selecting a target; besides, the target should be "all pages" as requested. Nothing I do will cause the default visited link color to change from the old one; each time I publish a page or pull up the settings window it's gone back to the old color.

Is this a bug? If not, why doesn't it work as it should?

Thanks!

Hi,
I believe you would have to select a page id first , then change your colors and select all pages. in my case I picked home, and had to do it twice.

Thanks. I tried that, several times, and every time the old color defs are still there even after I close and re-open VSD. I'm baffled.

have you tried clearing your cache file/ internet files?

No, but that would only affect the online version, right? This problem still occurs when I'm in VSD. I'll select the home page, change the color for the visited link, then apply it, save the project, and exit VSD. Then when I re-start VSD and open the project and go the the page settings menu the old color is still displayed as the default.

Spinny hi,
I may be wrong as far as the clearing cache, temp, internet files, but when you preview isn't that going to place some files in anyone of those?

I'm starting to see your problem, I used Hostway server to test the link color changes in VSD, I changed them to white and gray, the white worked as the unvisited but the grat didn't. But in Yahoo's server it worked. I honestly can't say what the problem is there, you could always use something like this and paste it into the header located under edit>edit header>>>>>>>

Bruzer,

Thanks, but it's not even in preview mode. This is a problem even if you never actually publish the page to a server. When I open the change settings menu again in VSD, the old color is back in the selection box, as though I had never changed it. For some reason the changes made in the menu are not being saved at all by VSD.

I've opened up a trouble ticket with customer support.

know whats weird is one minute i'm signed on , go to a different page and i'm not!
Ok I understand what your saying, but I just thought it would be quicker for ya!

surely it isn't consistant

I appreciate all the help, thank you very much! Inserting a style command set in the header might very well be the only way do accomplish the change I want, but it's supposed to be something you can do from the menu without needing to know css. At the very least it needs to be on their bug list.

this is crazy! lol

yes I agree...
