CSS - How To Change The Current Menu Link Color?

Hello
Is there a way i can restore my <a href> link back to its original color, that is before the a:visited event, when I click on another link?
PS. no Javascript code needed, is their an alternative in css?

I have a menu at the bottom of my page and want the menu item to be highlighted when the visitor is on that particular page so they know where they are. I want to embed this on a couple of pages because I have built a top level menu with drop downs using p7's Pop Menu Magic. Those menu items are highlighted when one is on a certain page. I don't know if I can do this by embedding. Could someone help me please. To see the example go to: www.coloradofoxden.com/deckscapes/index.html. The links at the bottom are what I am trying to fix. Thanks.

I have a css list menu which uses background images in place of bullets. What I'd like is for the user to visit the 'about' page and have the 'about' links background image be different from the rest. So the user can see from looking at the menu, what page they are on.

Anyone able to suggest any methods of doing this?
Would be appreciated =D

I'm trying to use Eric Meyer's css tabbed navbar to navigate a form. It works, except that I can't seem to get the navbar to indicate the current tab by changing the tab background and bottom border to white. I've been reading and trying different css commands, but haven't been successful.

I'm including my html and css below and would appreciate any help.

Thanks, Keith Silva

Hello

is there a way to make it so hyperlinks are not decorated as the default blue? I have the following css which I've attempted to make it so the text '.com' is always white, but it defaults to the standard link color.

html:

<td class="nodecoration"><a class="nodecoration" href="http://www.somesite.com">.com</a></td>

css:

Code:

td.nodecoration {
	background-color: #003399; color: white; width: 120px; height: 30px; font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif; font-size: 25px; font-weight: bold; text-align:center;
}

A:link.nodecoration {text-decoration: none}
A:visited.nodecoration{text-decoration:none}
A:active.nodecoration{text-decoration:none}
a:hover.nodecoration{text-decoration:underline}

Hi,

I'm just learning css and need some help. I am attaching an html page that has a navigation bar that changes the background color of the table cell when you mouse over the text link. It works OK but I would like to have the bg color change when you mouse over the td cell. I am currently making it look like it changes the td background by adding Code:

display: block;
line-height: 32px;

to the "td.navbar a:hover" class.
Is it possible to change the td background when mousing over it using only css?

Here's the code that I have now:
Code:

the code here works fine, except that the displayed text changes from white to black. It would be nice if each new text would start as FFFFCC and then fade to 3E3D11. Here is the script that I'm manipulating from Java Script Source:

<!-- Paste this code into the CSS section of your HTML document -->

#tic {
/* enter any styles for the ticker below */
border: .05em #CEC3AD solid;
font-size:0.85em;
padding:10px;
width:400px;
line-height:20px;
}
#tic * {
/* this will hide all children tags */
font-size: 1em;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
display:none;
}
#tic a {
/* add more tags to this list if you wish to display them inside the children */
display:inline;
}

var tickerObj; // global tickerObj cache
var hex = 255;

function fadeText(divId) {
if(tickerObj)
{
if(hex>0) {
hex-=5; // increase color darkness
tickerObj.style.color="rgb("+hex+","+hex+","+hex+")";
setTimeout("fadeText('" + divId + "')", fadeSpeed);
} else
hex=255; //reset hex value
}
}

function initialiseList(divId) {
tickerObj = document.getElementById(divId);
if(!tickerObj)
reportError("Could not find a div element with id \"" + divId + "\"");
list = tickerObj.childNodes;
if(list.length <= 0)
reportError("The div element \"" + divId + "\" does not have any children");
for (var i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
var node = list[i];
if (node.nodeType == 3 && !/\S/.test(node.nodeValue))
tickerObj.removeChild(node);
}
run(divId, 0);
}

function run(divId, count) {
fadeText(divId);
list[count].style.display = "block";
if(count > 0)
list[count-1].style.display = "none";
else
list[list.length-1].style.display = "none";
count++;
if(count == list.length)
count = 0;
window.setTimeout("run('" + divId + "', " + count+ ")", interval*1000);
}
function reportError(error) {

return false;
}

I'm a CSS newbie, so forgive me if I'm going about this the wrong way entirely. I'm trying to build a website with a menu that changes the source of an iFrame. So I have:

Code:

<html>
<body>
<div>**MENU**</div>
<div><iframe id="contentFrame" src="home.htm"></iframe></div>
</body>
</html>

Clicking a menu item, say "Contact Us", changes the src of the iFrame using:

Code:

<a href="javascript:document.getElementById('contentFrame').src='ContactUs.htm'">Contact Us</a>

The menu is pure CSS, with each item underlining as it's rolled over, and some submenus that show up when hovering.

What I'm looking to do is have the selected menu item have a different text color. So when you click "Contact Us", that item will change color and stay that other color while navigating the ContactUs.htm page in the iFrame.

Is that even remotely do-able? I saw some examples where you use body classes and id's to match the id of the menu item to the body class of the related page. However, I think that would require loading completely separate pages (with the same menu, header, and footer code). I want to avoid the entire page flickering when changing content.

I don't seem to be able to access the body class value of the page being loaded in the iFrame. Is that possible to do?

Thanks for any guidance you all could offer.

Hello, and thanks in advance for anyone who helps me with this.

I want to know if it's possible to choose one color on a page and change it to another.

This is the page I want to change: http://www.neopets.com/randomfriend.phtml?user=bubbapyque

The menu on the left is uneditable by me because it's on Neopet's server. But I'd like to change the yellow color of the menu to something else.

Possible?

Thanks.

Ok so I've got a dropdown menu (what you use to select size/font/color when posting a thread) for a search form i'm doing, but the thing is nothing i seem to do in css seems to be able to get rid of the ugly grey outline and grey dropdown button, but as i'm seeing here on the forums the same ugly grey outline appears, is this a problem that is only resolved with like the latest version of i.e., is it possible or not?

Thank you,
