Changing Link Colors

From: http://developer.webtv.net/authoring/html/body.html 
(The url above is now a "dead link" since msntv took over.)

LINK
Name: Unvisited link color.
Description: Defines the color of hyperlinks that have not yet been visited in the body of a Web page.
Values: Can be specified either as hexadecimal color values or as predefined color names. The default value is #2222BB.

VLINK
Name: Visited link color.
Description: Defines a color for hyperlinks already visited by the user in the body of a Web page.
Values: Can be specified either as hexadecimal color values or as predefined color names. The default value is #8822BB.

ALINK
Name: Active link color.
Description: Defines a color for active links in the body of a Web page.
Values: Can be specified either as hexadecimal color values or as predefined color names.
Note: WebTV does not support/"see" this attribute but computer viewers will see it if it is coded into a webpage.




Due to the body codes preset by Webtv, you cannot change the link and vlink colors on a Webtv PageBuilder webpage by using just:

<<>body link="color" vlink="color" alink="color"
text="color" bgcolor="color" background="url of image">

But if you use an "advanced editor" method , with the code above, then it will work.

Another way to change link, vlink, text colors,
and bgcolor is to use  javascript codes.



Other ways to change link colors:

When using the "add an item"--"links" area,
if you want to change the color of the text for an individual link,
use font tags in the "description" side for each text link color that you want to change.

Use:

<<>font color="color name or #">Descriptive text for the link
<<>/font>

The table below is similar to how the
"add an item" -- "links" area looks.

Type the text that you want to be
highlighted and clickable in the "Description" side,

and type the url of the link
in the "Web Address (URL)" side.

When using this method to change individual link colors, the visited link color will not change-----it will remain the same color as the designated link color in the font tag.

Demonstration of the results are below the table.


Description
(The text typed here will be highlighted
and clickable on your webpage.
Change the color of the text
by using font tags as shown below.)
Web Address (URL)
Go to Geocities
http://www.geocities.com

<<>font color="darkred">Go to Geocities
<<>/font>
http://www.geocities.com

<<>font color="yellow">Go to Geocities
<<>/font>
http://www.geocities.com

http://www.geocities.com

http://www.geocities.com

<<>font color="darkred">http://www.geocities.com
<<>/font>
http://www.geocities.com

<<>font color="yellow">http://www.geocities.com
<<>/font>
http://www.geocities.com

( If you leave this area blank, then the url you enter in the "Web Address" area will show up in the color of the regular webtv link.)

Using the "add an item"---"links" area and what I typed into the table above produces:








If you are typing links with html codes in an
"add an item"---"text" or "heading" area:


Using

<<>a href="url">Regular webtv colored link here<<>/a>

will produce:

Regular webtv colored link here






And to change any individual link color,

Using

<<>a href="url"><<>font color="red">Red Link here<<>/font><<>/a>

will produce:

Red Link here



When using this method to change individual link colors, the visited link color will not change-----it will remain the same color as the designated link color in the font tag.

And yet another way
to change link colors,
and bgcolor and text colors:
using javascript.


Using images in the
"add an item"--"links" area






You can also use Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) codes to change the color of all your links, but the "classic" webtv units cannot use them and some computer browsers do not support these codes yet.

Add this code to the first "add an item"---"text" or "heading area:

<<>style type="text/css"> <<>!--
A:link {color:COLOR NAME OR # HERE}
A:visited {color:COLOR NAME OR # HERE} -->
<<>/style>

Or to change individual link colors, use:

<<>a href="url here" style="color:red;">Link text Here<<>/a> :

effects_test.html

or, for more:

<<>a href="url here" style="font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline; color:purple;">Link text Here<<>/a> :
