CSS - Is It Possible To Set Link Styles With Embedded Css?

I need to create signature files for (Outlook) for my group. Until 2 days ago I knew nothing about css but I am learning. Coz Outlook only picks up the body from an html file I cannot use external css sheets, so all coding must be done inline. Only thing I can't figure out is the style for a weblink.

Here's s snip of the relevant line:
<a href="http://www.blabla.com.au" style="font: bold 8pt arial,sans-serif">
<span style="color:#ef812a; font-decoration: underline">www.blabla.com.au</span></a>

The code (probably shabby) renders fine in Dreamweaver, but the sig in Outlook the underline shows blue - I want the underline for any link (visited, not visited) to show as #ef812a which is sort of orange. I can't figure out how to insert the a:link etc stuff.

Thanks
James

Hi there,

If i have a css class called td.header_menul how do i change the link colour for this class?

I know how to change normal link colours but how do i change them to that specific one?

Thanks!

I have 2 content areas. One with id sidebar2 and another with id maincontent.

I want the links in these separate content areas to have different hover colors and possibly other characteristics.

My problem is, the styles for sidebar2 are being overwritten by the styles in maincontent as it is below it in the style sheet (cascade).

The hover of the words "Good Game" in this example is green which clashes with the background of the sidebars content. It should be a blue color.

Why does a completely separate id overwrite the styling in a previous id? How can I improve this code to get the desired results.

Line numbers eg (line 140) are just referencing where the code appears within the stylesheet and are not actually in the css sheet.

HTML example:

<div id="sidebar2">
<h1>Daily Content</h1>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="(URL)">Good Game</a>
</li></ul>
</div>


#sidebar2 li a:link, li a:visited (line 140)

{

text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #336699;

}

#sidebar2 li a:active, li a:hover (line 148)

{

text-decoration: none;
color: #2986aa;
text-indent: 5px;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;

}

#mainContent a:link, li a:visited (line 157)

{

text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #003366;

}

#mainContent li a:active, li a:hover (line 166)

{

text-decoration: none;

color: #99cc66;
text-indent: 5px;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;

}

hi guys,

I'm sure this is an easy fix but it's driving my little non-technical mind nuts...

I have an external style sheet for a site, and it appears to be linked correctly as altering it does affect the text in my site.

HOWEVER, the elements I've included to keep web links displaying as normal text aren't working (visited, hover, active, etc etc)

Please help.

Code below.

.main {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
link {text-decoration: none;
visited {text-decoration: none;
hover {text-decoration: none;
active {text-decoration: none;
}

I am trying to use the following in my external style sheet for my links:

Code:

a:link, a:visited{
color: #006699;
text-decoration: underline;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;

}

a:hover {
color: #006699;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;

}

a.big {
color: #006699;
text-decoration: underline;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;

}

a.big:hover {
color: #006699;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;

}

a.bigger {
color: #006699;
text-decoration: underline;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 17px;
font-weight: bold;

}

a.bigger:hover {
color: #006699;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 17px;
font-weight: bold;
}

My problem is that I can't get big & bigger to work properly in Internet explorer. When I hover over the link it goes to its proper size but when not hovering it stays at 11px.

Is it possible to set link styles that are defined inside of a heading tag...

for example,

h1 a:link{bleh}
h1 a:visited{bleh}
h1 a:hover{bleh}

I tried it... but it doesn't want to go, I'm thinking I might have to think of another solution

Hello. I'm trying to figure out a way to define link states (link, active, hover, visited) using an inline style or in a manner other than specifying via an imported or embedded style sheet. The project I'm working on involves designing an HTML email (template) with links that have formatting specified. Some webmail providers (particulalrly gmail and hotmail) seem to strip the away all code from the BODY tag on up (I assume to avoid conflicts with their own formatting), making formatting a very creative endeavor. Anyhow, without specifying these attributes in the header, is there any other way of doing this? The best I can figure out is specifying a link color, but without allowing for changes on visited, active, or hovered links. I've been googling for hours, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. I know the prevailing attitudes on plain text vs html formatted emails and how it ties into spam, etc. I assure you this isn't being done in the context of spam, but rather, an opt-in newsletter for a client interested in sending fully formatted newsletters. :-)

Hi,

I just can't seem to get my head around this one. I have a website title which appears on every page. The whole title is a link to the index page of the website. I want the second part of the title to be a h1 header with smaller font in a different colour. I also want the whole title to be on one line.

I can only seem to get either all the words in the same font, or I can get the two parts to display their different fonts correctly, but they then appear on two lines, one under the other!



My page code:

<div id="garden-designer-title"><a href="(*website address*)" title="home">Joe Blogs</a><h1 style="display: inline'"><a href="(*website address*)" title="home">Garden Design</a></h1>
</div>



My stylesheet code:

#garden-designer-title {
position:relative;
left:0px;
top:0px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
width:526px;
height:51px;
z-index:7;
}

#garden-designer-title a {
position:relative;
font-size: 46px;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #009999;
font-weight: normal;
text-decoration: none;
}

#garden-designer-title h1 a {
display: inline;
font-size: 29px;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #9482A4;
font-weight: normal;
text-decoration: none;
}

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?!

Many thanks!

I need some really rediculous link styles, like all of the cool fading/pixelating ones that work on IE - but I can't find any for Firefox. Does anyone know if they exist, or where to find them?

Hey all,

So i have two files my html file:
Code:

 
<html>
<head>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />
</head>
<body>

<a href="#">this is a test</a>

</body>
</html>

And my css file:
Code:

a:link {color:#000000;text-decoration:none;}
a:visited {color:#000000;text-decoration:none;}
a:hover {color:#CC0000;text-decoration:underline;}
a:active {color:#000000;text-decoration:none;}

except that the styles don't work on the links. If i put the styles in <style> tags in the html head it works, but in a seperate file they don't, can someone help me?

thanks!

Edit, whoops sorry, I had the wrong name for my css file

I've been using EMBED tags to place SVG images in a web page but I haven't found a good way to position the images exactly where I want them. I've tried every CSS style known to man in the EMBED tag but it doesn't seem to respond much. Go to this address to see an example:

wikiquation.com/builder

This is supposed to look like c^2 (as in E=mc^2). It works great in the newest version of FireFox, but in every other browser both letters are small (only the 2 should be small) and they are spaced very far apart. Like I said, I've tried using CSS to control the positioning but nothing seems to work.

If you have any suggestions or if anyone knows of a better way of placing SVG images, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!
David

P.S. I apologize if this post is not in the best location. I wasn't sure where to post it.

My subject title may be a little off (terminology).
I'm looking for a good resource on embedding 'expressions' in CSS - mostly for learning.
I've lost all my links because I did an Office update on my Mac and somehow lost all my email settings.
I posted in the Mac forum a couple of weeks ago, but to no avail.
So, I'm beginning to build my info up again (damn).
I've seen Pure CSS tooltips, Opacity for IE, Conditional Statements and more, but I can't remember all the things I'd found.
Can someone point me to a good resource on this area of CSS please?
Would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone,

Basically I am working on a yahoo store design, and I have learned through working with Yahoo Store that it is very proprietary and limited in access. They allow me to access external style sheets and some of the layout of the site but I found for a specific tag id that if I alter it's margin value, something in the inaccessible backend creates an embedded style for that tag that overrrides the external style sheet. Yahoo help has been no help because they don't support custom code.

Anyway, I was wondering if there was a way to override or disable an embedded style in general or for a specific tag? I am pretty sure there isn't, but if there is, I would be forever grateful. I would especially appreciate any non-javascript solutions. I think javascript could do the trick but a non-javascript solution would be preferable and that is what I'm looking for.

Thank you anyone who can help out.

Hi can anyone tell me if I can override embedded CSS with a linked stylesheet?

Here is what I want to change:
Code:

<col width="40%" style="background-color:#EEEEEE;text-align:left;">

I want to change the background-color without changing anything in the above mentioned code, this means I want to change it with an extern stylesheet.

does anyone know off hand without me posting any code, why my CSS would work embedded in the page between style tags and not referenced with a link tag (<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="blah.css" />).

this bug occurs in firefox.
