Re: Website readability-blue text

["Brian, Flaherty" <bflaher -at- INDCON -dot- COM>]

Style sheets/CSS can be used to override hypertext link and alpha
characteristics on web pages.  Note the following example:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">

A {
        text-decoration: none;
        color: brown }

A:hover {
        color: blue }

</STYLE>

In this example, *text-decoration* turns off the default coloring and
underlining for the A tag.  The hyperlinks now appear in brown.  If you
are using IE version 4.x, the hyperlink turns blue when you position the
pointer on the hyperlink (but turns back to brown when the pointer goes
off the hyperlink).  Note that *A:hover* does not work for Navigator (at
this time), and the A tag will remain brown even when you position the
cursor on the hyperlink.  Also note that the user can turn off CSS
styling in their Browser Options area.  So, if the user opts to *ignore*
CSS styling, none of the above STYLE tag declarations will apply.

The above example is an *inline style* that applies the style to the
currently loaded page only.  You can reference an external CSS sheet via
a <LINK> tag.

For whatever this is worth.
