Overview html

[macguba]

My Overview has links to other pages, just like you do in Briefings.    Which is fine.    Except that the link text comes out a very pale colour, which makes it virtually impossible to read.

Do you know how to change the colour?

Many thanks.

Pale text?

Hmm... that sounds wierd... ;D
Do you think you could attach a screenshot for us, Macca mate?

Sure.

The link works fine .... its just that the default colour for link text is no good.    In Briefings its that nice blue, which is fine, but in Overviews its ... well you can see.   I don't know anything much about html so I'm stuck.   I tried <b> but that just overrides the link and makes it ordinary text again.

Hmm... I never knew text linking in an overview went like that...

Unfortunately it makes it a bit unfeasible...

One option would be to use Sefe's brilliant idea... use image and link that (as I did in Facile Ground... good to see it's still on your mission list ;D)

The code looks a bit like this:
<a href="#story"><img src="ablogo2.paa" width="64" height="32" border="0"></a>

The bit in italics is the link (this image is linked to the #story section). The underlined bit inserts the image (The image name is "ablogo2.paa" and it's dimensions are 64 by 32... I'm not too sure what border does )

Anyway, you could try making a .jpg or .paa image that has dimensions to the power of 2 and throw that in there... that's one work around for it

Thanks Sui ..... I checked out your Overview for clues .... It occurred to me that you may have used an image to get round this very problem!    The question is, can I be bothered?

Are you saying that the link text colour can't be changed?

[Sui]

To tell you the truth I put the pictures in there first... I've never tried text links.

So, I can't say for sure that the colour can't be changed, however having experimented extensively with briefing text, I've never found a way to make links there any colour but the standard.

Bold doesn't change it, nor does making it a different heading...
That's not to say it can't be done, just that I don't know how to do it

Thanks Sui.    

Any html experts out there have any ideas?
