text color wont change

[jgcalifornia]

any reason when typing text in html editor which the text is an email address, no matter what I change the color to, it stays blue. All the other links look blue in preview mode which makes sense, but when going live, they turn to the color i put in source code, all except for this one. Any reason its stuck in blue??

It will help to be able to check the published HTML source code and applicable CSS (styling); would you be able to provide a link to the published web page?

I managed to change the text color, but not the underline.
I have CSS set to text decoration none, and white font color.
There is no underline selected when editing, and the blue wont disappear while in edit mode.

It looks like two different editors were used for the HTML, at least one being Adobe GoLive; multiple editors might introduce some complexity if each varies in how certain CSS styling/effects and HTML edits are applied.

I would consider trying CSS for the specific styling of hyperlinks; for example, something like one or more of the following (as a very basic example):

a:link { text-decoration:none }
a:visited { text-decoration:none }
a:hover { text-decoration:none }
a:active { text-decoration:none }

yes, most of it was done in golive, and once loaded to the server, we went in to do some minor edits in the cp. is this not an option? can i ask why the blue wont go away in the cp anyway? it didnt seem to matter, we tried it with another site and had the same problem in the editor. Thanks for the css, we applied it, still same problem.

correction- sorry, we had to adjust something. using your text decoration code totally worked.
a:link { text-decoration: "none"; }

thank you very much!

[jgcalifornia]

so we got the text to change, which seems to work, but now theres no link.
we have the source code as:

#connect { color: white; text-decoration: none; text-align: center; height: 20px; width: 210px; left: 690px; top: 540px; position: absolute; visibility: visible; }

I would consider entering the URL/URI into the W3C markup and CSS validators to help check for possible issues, working to then correct any errors or warnings found until it passes the validation checks successfully.

Pardon me for asking, but what's this have to do with cPanel? You could surely edit this in cPanel File Manager, that's not your problem. The problem seems to me is not knowing how to use Adobe GoLive properly.

Looking at your web page, I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish there with all the extra code just to mask/hide links to hostgator (it looks like to me) from an account on theplanet, that seems to not even be licensed with cPanel from what I can tell.

Those "5 HTML errors" as you explain, are the basics for the page itself not working properly. Coding is not completed, files needed to make this page work, not even located on the server.

type="text/javascript" src="file:///Users/jg/Library/Preferences/Adobe/GoLive/Settings8/JScripts/GlobalScripts/CSScriptLib.js"

You could build this entire page in a matter of minutes if you just let go of golive and go another route. It's a simple HTML page at best from what I can tell.

While it's very nice of cPanelDon to try to assist, he's a very nice guy, this forum is not for this type of support as I understand it, and I've been here for at least a year or two. There are many other forums that do provide support for this sort of thing, including over at adobe somewhere, I'm sure of it.

If you must use golive, you might want to RTFM for assistance. Looking at your code it looks like a bunch of cut n paste to me.

I'm sure this sounds harsh, it's not meant to and I appologize. But I'm quite sure Don has better things to do than teach you web page building. IMHO.

Good luck with your webpage.

what this has to do with cpanel? well, probably because it only happens while editing our pages in using cpanel.

Our problem doesn't exist in Adobe Go Live and works great for us! The problem only happens once loaded to our server, and edited in cpanel.

cpanel is what came with our hosting account, as most editing programs come along with hosting, but thats not really your concern is it.

Yes, we know this, and just as our home page states, we are working on building our site...the rest of our coding issues aren't the current issue at hand. The issue at hand is why only in cpanel would there be no option to change the text color and decoration from the blue it insists on displaying.

Im sure Don's got tons of things to do, as we all do....
Again, if this problem was ruled out to another program, guess what-id probly be on their forums...But the problem has been only in cpanel, which means to figure it out, or at least to find out why, Id probly have to visit the cpanel guys and ask em....

but thanks for taking the time out of your day to express yourself! Unfortunately, there's not much I can use here in your post, but maybe I needed to be more clear about the root of the issue being only in cpanel, so thanks for reminding me!
