Also thanks to everyone who helped me in my DW question

the proper code if you are using Style Sheets would be.

A:link { 
    color: #0000FF;text-decoration: underline 
       }


A:active {
    color: #0000FF;text-decoration: underline
         }


A:visited {
    color: #0000FF;text-decoration: underline
          }


A:hover {
    color: #0000FF;text-decoration: underline
        }

Changing the color codes to the ones you wish to use. Hope this helps.

Thanks Lippy that helped out a lot

just two questions

I dont want the link to chang colors when they would go back to the site (like a visited link) I just want it to change colors when it is over the certain link or clicked -- so what would i use for that --

this--

A:link {
color: #0000FF;text-decoration: underline
}


A:hover {
color: #0000FF;text-decoration: underline

?????

Also I am doin this in DW - not sure what u mean style sheets -- so where should i place this - in the head section??

Thanks so much

No. Copy the code lippy posted. Then do like he said, change the colors to what you want.
To not have a link change to a different color when it becomes visited, simply make 'visited' the same color as 'link'.

DW doesn't have style sheets?
Well anyway, yes, you place this in the head of the page.
