Hiya Tim,

The links in the footer look atrocious compared to the rest of the site.


JoAnn-
I found out that changing link colors is going to be a big task. If the link colors are changed after the site is built, when you hit Apply to all Pages the page size is also changed on every page. With 50+ pages I'll have to go back to each page and figure out the page length. Unless anyone knows a way around this??!!


Unfortunately no. I have built several websites with VSD and when you apply the changes to all pages it will apply ALL the changes not just some of them. When it comes to the link color the best way to do it if you decide to change your mind on color after you have already built a bunch of pages is to use css. Then use the HTML insert and code your links manually.

If you do it this way you can change your mind any time you want by editing the css. VSD is a very powerful tool but it does have some minor annoyances.

Please let me know if you need help setting that up.

Place this code to the head of the pages you want to customize the link colors and design. Adjust as needed for your taste.
<style>
<!--
A:link {
color: #FF0000;
text-decoration: underline;
}
A:visited {
color: #FF8000;
text-decoration: underline;
}
A:active {
color: #8423BFF;
text-decoration: underline;
}
A:hover {
color: #423BFF;
text-decoration: none;
}
-->
</style>
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Steve-
Thanks. I guess the best way is going to change the link colors,apply the changes, then just figure out every page length.

Eric-
Thanks for the code, however I wouldn't know where to begin to adjust colors.

Yea I feel your pain. I once had to re-size 87 pages after selecting the Apply to All Pages when I changed the link colors.

Yes when I first changed the link colors and hit apply, then went to another page to edit is when I found pages change length. I had yet to Save, so I just closed out without a Save to reset everything.

Eric- Thanks again, but code is like greek to me. I could probably figure out colors but adding the HTML to the page in the correct place would be another challenge. That's why I use VSD instead of HTML Editor. Since I would have to edit every page with a HTML tag I may as well do the page length hunt.

There's no outside altering. This is all done in VSD. It's as simple as Ctlr + Alt + h then copy and paste.;)

Oh thank goodness! You got lucky. I don't think CC will be making any updates to VSD as they will be coming up with a responsive website builder. My guess is these issues will be resolved when its released.

I have been using VSD for several years and love it. However I feel that my very limited knowledge of HTML has me doing a lot of unnecessary work.

I have tried to build my site so as to avoid scrolling. I want all of the information to be available in a center pane that changes when buttons are clicked. To accomplish this I have copied the buttons to all of my pages in their same position and only change the information that displays in the center of the page. However this results in all of the menu buttons having to load again each time a different page is viewed. IS THERE A BETTER WAY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS??

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions that would help improve my VSD website.

Thanking you in advance, Kim.

First thing I would do, and this won't fix your problem I don't think, is upgrade to the latest version of VSD. Should be using Build 26. It's a free upgrade so go get it! :cool:

As far as your real problem, I'm thinking about it, but someone else may chime in here. . .

Okay, I'd make the menu using CC's Menu Builder and see how that works for you. You can download a FREE trial and give it a whirl. http://www.coffeecup.com/menu-builder/

With menu builder your menu files reside on your server and the code on each page you go to simply loads it in. Works like a charm for most folks. :cool:
