Hi all! I hope you all had a great weekend!

Ok, so like I've said before, I'm not too good at all this tech stuff. So once again I need some help :)

I'm using VSD and I have started a new website/page and I've entered some text. Then I click the "link" and fill in the website info I want and that works fine. BUT! It changes my text color to a light blue with an underline. How do I change the linked text back to the color I want w/o being underlined?

Thanks so much!!!

IN VSD you could try adding this to the head section by going to edit>edit header and paste this.
<style>
a:link {
text-decoration: none; color: red;
}
</style>
But I think VSD 6 build 3 is having a problem right now and a fix is soon to be released. But if it doesn't work let us know. Just change the color to your wishes.
With no underline.

Thanks for the info, but when I pasted the info, nothing changed. I still can't get rid of the underline or change the color :(

I tried both css and the code I showed you and your correct, we may need to wait a week for the next version to come out with the fix sorry...... could also try putting in a support ticket as well.

Try this code. Hopefully the use of body in the selector will give it a high enough specificity* to overcome whatever styling is conflicting with it.

<style type="text/css">
body a, body a:link {
text-decoration: none; color: red;
}
</style>

I was looking at a VSD page and saw all the content was in the #container div. This should work:

<style type="text/css">
#container a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#container a:link {
text-decoration: none; color: red;
}
</style>

Amelia, Scott gave me this answer to a similar question;

"Go to the Settings Menu > Standard Settings for New Pages and change the colors for the unvisited and visited links."

It will fix all the links you have in your site.

Not sure about the underline.
I have an inferiority complex - but it is not a very good one.

Well shoot. That didn't do anything either.

I guess it's not a huge deal. I just wish I could enter text, link it to a site page and have it NOT underlined. I was able to change the color of the text but can't get rid of the underline.


Thanks everyone for all the help!
