Hyperlink color and underline

Hi there. Me again. Please, is there a way to make the hyperlinks to keep from turning blue and underlined? I'm sick and tired of having to change each one manually! Seems to me there is a way, but I can't remember how.

Thank you for your help. And while I'm here... Hehhehee....

Does any one here use the text rollover effect to show previous of images when the text is rolled over, and does it work consistently well? I know some sites do it. Just don't want to try it if it behaves irradically? Does these make sense? It does?

You use CSS to change all the links to whatever you desire. If you are using a style sheet file then you add this to it:

a {color: red;}

a:hover {color: blue;}

If you don't have a style sheet, you can still change it by adding this code just before the closed </head> tag to each of your web page. You will need to add it in Code View.

<style type="text/css">

a {color: red;}

a:hover {color: blue;}

</style>

Just change the color to your desired choice. It's better to use hex code to display your color. #ff0000 is the same as red and #0000ff is the same as blue.

If you don't want any underlines, then add text-decoration: none; to the css.

You can indeed have cool rollover effect using CSS. If you don't know how to use CSS, I suggest you start learning with some basic tutorials that you can search on the internet.

Helping those who help themselves can achieve great results.

Thank you very much for your help. I have done all of that since I started making my own webs back in 1903. I was asking if there was a place to make a global change (you know, where coding affects the entire page, not just one link? You have heard of global in coding?)

Please forgive me for taking up your time!!! Have a wonderful week!

:)

if you link to an external stylesheet from each page then you have the ability to make changes globally i.e. site-wide, to every page that the style sheet is linked to, and every link on it.

Also, under Edit Find / Replace you can replace code in all pages.

The code I provided and placed in the right location does just that. Chances are is that you are not familiar with CSS. Search the internet for CSS Tutorial.
