Hello

Can someone please help me with this JavaScript?

The link-color does effect other links too.

I have little or no knowledge of programming. After a lot of searching and experimenting, this is how far I've come. Some parts of this script are confusing, and I would appreciate it very much if anyone could help me out.

This is the script that I've tried to put together. The uploaded file is a test-page that shows the script in action.
<span id="myemail"><script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
emName = 'post'
emDomain = 'example.com'
emLink = 'Send An Email'

var em = (emName + String.fromCharCode(32 * 2) + emDomain)
document.write('<a href="mailto:' + em + '?subject=Hello there! :-)">' + emLink + '<\/a>')

var emLink = document.getElementById("myemail");
emLink.style.fontFamily = 'calibri';
emLink.style.fontSize = '25px';
emLink.style.fontWeight = '700';
emLink.style.lineHeight = '1,4';
emLink.style.textDecoration = 'underline';
colourLink("#e34c19");

function colourLink(hex) {
var link = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i=0; i<link.length; i++) {
if (link[i].href) {
link[i].style.color = hex;
}
}
}
</script></span>

Hi Mrs B,
Can you share a link to your page so we can see it live?
Also explain exactly what your looking for.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Type in your info, click submit and get the code snippet to put on your site. ;)

You can also use the second option to include styling.

:lol: Hello Eric.
I can ensure you it was well explained - if you'd been a Norwegian that is, and inside my head. :) So I'll try again.
First of all, thank you.

When clicking the email-link, the script is working as expected. My problem is the color. I've styled the email-link with a color. However, the orange (test-) color don't apply to the email-link only, but to other links on the same page too. The strange thing is that this orange color only applies to links that are placed before the script, not after.

I want the script to make only my email link orange.

I hope this explanis what I mean. :)

Here is a link to a testpage I made.
