    Hey just wondering can anyone tell me how you stop dreamweaver turning links different colours?

    I know theres a way to specify what colour you want links to be but the problem is I have links on a black background and also white so Id just prefer to leave them as normal.I just want them to underline but not all turn the one colour.

    The most basic way in Dreamweaver of setting link colours, is in the top menu under: Modify; Page Properties.

    You really should define it in CSS. It's quite simple to add CSS for page links to a page. Just add this within the <head> element of your HTML:

    [HTML]

    <style type="text/css">

    a {
    text-decoration: none;
    font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 11px;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    }

    a:hover{
    text-decoration: underline;
    font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 11px;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #ed1b2d;
    }

    a:active{
    text-decoration: none;
    font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 11px;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #ed1b2d
    }

    a:visited{
    text-decoration: none;
    font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 11px;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #ed1b2d
    }

    </style>
    [/HTML]You can easy change the underline, font, RGB value (colour) etc, and these styles will apply to every link on your page.

    I know it's probably just semantics, but for the record, Dreamweaver doesn't "turn links different colours"

    The default colour for a link is blue, and the default colour for a link that your browser knows that you have visited is purple.
