Formatting text hyperlinks

After you create a text hyperlink, you can format it by choosing colors for the normal, rollover, and visited states.

To format a text hyperlink:

  1. Go to the webpage with the hyperlinks you want to format by clicking the page in the sidebar on the left of the iWeb window.

  2. If the Link inspector isn’t open, click the Inspector button in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the Link button.

  3. In the Hyperlink pane, deselect the “Make hyperlinks active” checkbox if it’s selected.

    This deactivates hyperlinks so that you can select and click them without opening their destination pages.

  4. Image of the Hyperlink pane of the Link Inspector.
  5. Select the hyperlink text you want to format.

  6. Click Format and choose any of the formatting options. For each option, click the color well and choose a color.

  7. Normal: Determines the text color for hyperlinks.

    Rollover: Determines the text color of hyperlinks when visitors move a pointer over them.

    Visited: Determines the text color after a hyperlink has been clicked.

    Disabled: Indicates the text color of a hyperlink that can’t be clicked.

The settings apply only to the hyperlink you selected. If you want to use these settings for all new links that you create on this page, select “Use for New Links on Page.”
