where to change or set colour of hyperlink strings

[olu]

just a quick question where do i change the colour of hyperlink strings on browse and browse header string colour when sorting is enabled?

Using firebug check the CSS class of the hyperlink and add your desired value into your own custom CSS file.

tried that but still cant find where in the css file to control the hyperlink colour

Hi Olu,

What Bill said.
See the attached pic.

Use Firebug (www.getfirebug.com) to "Inspect" the header. The style being applied appears on the right.

So to override it, in your custom.css file add a different style called
a
and that style will apply rather than the default one.

hi thanks bruce yes i was able to identify and change the colour globally but what if i want each hyperlink on different table to have diffrent colour? and also where do i change the sortup and down image like from sortup.png to up.gif or do i have to convert gif to png and call it same name?

Hi Olu,

>> Thanks bruce yes i was able to identify and change the colour globally but what if i want each hyperlink on different table to have diffrent colour?

Well then we should all beat you up with a wet noodle until you cry like a baby...

but if you _really_ want to do this;
a) set the style for the browse to some new style (ie not BrowseTable)
b)  make your new style - called say OluBrowse
c) make the
.OluBrowse a {
}
style and put your settings in there.

>> and also where do i change the sortup and down image like from sortup.png to up.gif or do i have to convert gif to png and call it same name?

yes, convert it and use the same name.

just one more question to ask when i click on my sort header on my browse the browse width changes from my set width until i close browse and reopen any ideas please?

Hi Olu,

I think that's an IE peculiarity you're describing - I've seen it to, but I don't think it can be changed. I'd need to see the effect to be sure, but it reminds me of IE behavior.
