menu text color on active page

Post by designer »

When on the active page, the menu text color is a dark blue, and I can't see where to change that. I thought I had, using pagecolor" but it doesn't change it.

I then tried changing the site css file from a blue "active" link, and that did nothing. I then deleted the css active link altogether - nothing changed.

How can I change that color

Hi,

I don't see any change, it is black bg with white text. Which browser are you using that has the blue in it?

I'm seeing this on Firefox Mac version. It shows up as "link blue" on black.

Hi,

Well I can't test on a Mac since I don't have one. But, I note the same problem in FF on a pc. There are two things you can try, the first to test if this is causing the issue, the second to try and fix it.

1. In your stylesheet you have a:link as #0000cd and the a:visited as that also. That is the link blue. Maybe that's getting picked up for some reason. Just as a test try changing that to #ffffff and see if that changes it.

2. After the previous test make sure your stylesheet is as you want it, and then try setting visitedcolor="#ffffff"; in your style section and see if that keeps the text white.

I'll report this to Milonic.

Hi designer,

Ruth is definitely right about #0000CD being the blue color that you see. Why? Hard to say. I do notice that you have a small error in your definition of menuStyle. You have pagecolor="FFFFFF"; ... left out the #. See if that might help.

Cheers,

Kevin, you win the prize!

Ruth, your ideas did solve the problem, (I tried them before Kevin's fix) and it worked.

Then I set the visited link color back to blue and applied the # before the hex and it worked!

Thanks so much for your help -- now I can sleep tonight!
