December 29, 2006, Newsletter Issue #97: Changing the color of a single link
Tip of the Week
Controlling the color of links on a web page is easy using the LINK and VLINK attributes of the BODY tag, as follows:
<BODY LINK="RED" VLINK="RED">
<A HREF="http://www.html-tips.com">Red Link</A>
</BODY>
But what if you want several links to have different colors? The logical approach is to use the FONT tag, in this manner:
<FONT COLOR="red"><A HREF="http://www.html-tips.com">Example Link</A></FONT>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="green"><A HREF="http://www.html-tips.com">Example Link 2</A></FONT>
But here is what it produces:
Example Link
Example Link 2
Now here is the correct way to achieve the desired result:
<A HREF="http://www.html-tips.com"><FONT COLOR="red">Example Link</FONT></A>
<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.html-tips.com"><FONT COLOR="green">Example Link 2</FONT></A>
Which produces:
Example Link
Example Link 2
