RE: Email links in Dreamweaver 8

[Jako]

I am having a problem with the properties when linking some text in a sentence into an Email link.

The sentence is "Please contact us for more information" and the text i want to link to an email is "contact us".

The "Please contact us for more information" is a red text but when i link the email it turns blue (i know this is a default) but how do i change the default link settings to not underline or change the text colour?

Thanks for any advice.

Use styles...

try putting this after the title tag of your html code...



<style type="text/css">
<!--
.stylename a:link {
color: #00FF00;
text-decoration: none;
}
.stylename a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #00FF00;
}
.stylename a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FF0000;
}
.stylename a:active {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FF0000;
}
-->
</style>



Just edit it depending on your preference.

After that, do this with the link...


<div class="stylename">Please <a href="yourlink">contact us</a> for more information</div>

This should answer your question.

Keep it simple Highlight Contact Us, then go to the link section in the properties inspector, and type mailto:whatever@whatever.com

1. Select the text you want to add Email link.
2. Click on the "Common" toolbar if not active
3. Click the Email link button and type the email address you want link with your text,

why don't you create a contact form there is a great site for doing this in under 5 minutes and it is safer than having your email address on the net thats for sure. (replace the xx with tt)
