Some of my hotlinks highlight and others do not

Permalink
Hello all,

Might as well get all my problems out at once before I finally get my site all updated. Here is a question. Why on this page does one line highlight yellow when I hotlink it, and in the same block, with the same size type, another line does not. Is this yet again a CSS issue / trick?

This page: http://geminiuniversal.com/resources/...

"Register on line here or click below" is actually hot linked but is not highlighted. Yet a sentence further below is. I've noticed this on other pages two. The highlighting comes and goes. I want my readers to know clearly when a line is hot linked to another page.

Any answers?

Thanks,

Susan

Just guessing, but I would assume you highlighted and linked both the text and image at the same time? This would default to the image link not changing color.
Have you tried un-linking them and re-linking one at a time or inserting a break between them?

I first hotlinked the type, then the logo. Today I went back and decided to try underlining and changing the color of the type, and as soon as I chose "blue" it highlighted itself as yellow as it was supposed to. Don't know if what I did was correct, but it worked! LOL! Thanks for your suggestion!

Right-click on the mis-behaving link and choose 'Inspect Element'. You will see that the HTML for the <span> surrounding that link tells it to be black.

<span style="color: #000000;">Register online here or click logo below</span>

I assume this was added with an HTML block so you need to edit the HTML in that block and remove the 'style="color:#000000"' bit.

Well, see my answer above to the other person. It worked, don't know why...I did not have this problem on the home page - only the resource page.

If you using the Content block, try switching it to 'html' view to see what's going on 'under the hood'. The TinyMCE editor the C5 uses adds lots of extra <span></span> junk that makes it hard to figure out what's happening. I almost always have to put it in 'html' mode and simplify the code it produces. The next version of concrete5 promises to replace the TinyMCE editor (finally) with a better one.
