Link colors not working within Exhibit section

jordanrandall / 2013-01-25 05:28:37   

Hi All. I set the "link" colors in the Indexhbit Style v1.0, but they don't seem to be working within the Exhibits section. Well, oddly, the "hover" works, but nothing else. I experimented with some coding mods in the style sheet -- which seemed simple enough -- but that didn't work either. Index section appears to be working just fine. Thanks in advance for any guidance/support!

Example of Exhibit page where it's not working: jordanstein.com/project/will-brown/

I'm not sure what am I supposed to see for the rest of the link states. I see blue links, pink hover links, black visited links and the active exhibit is bold and black.

The links in the Index section (on the left of the page) work just fine. But only the pink hover works on the Exhibit (right side) of the page. The blue doesn't show up.

well they work fine from my end. Maybe you have some browser cache error.
Hold down the shift key and hit refresh a few times...

Huh! I just changed the "link color visited" color to red and now I can TOTALLY SEE IT. Nice! Which make me wonder: Can I have one set of link colors for the Index and another for the Exhibit pages? Or is it just one package? Thanks!

Yes, you can, but you will need to do that custom via the CSS (you can't use the Indexhibit style plugin anymore).

Thanks for this, Vaska. I still can't seem to get this one.

I've changed my exhibit region links section of the style sheet, but it doesn't seem to be coming up.

"/* links styles only for the #exhibit region */
#exhibit a:link { 000 0FF }
#exhibit a:hover { FF3 3CC }
#exhibit a:active { 00F F33 }
#exhibit a:visited { 000 0FF } "

What am I missing? THANKS! Jordan

Because your CSS is incorrect - simply use the color attribute and it's hex value and it will be fine.

Thanks, Vaska. I'm new to this but working through it.

I changed the hex values as follows:

"/* links styles only for the #exhibit region */
#exhibit a:link { #0000FF }
#exhibit a:hover { #FF33CC }
#exhibit a:active { #0000FF }
#exhibit a:visited { #0000FF } "

But still no dice on the "news" -- or any other -- page: jordanstein.org/news/

And what's the relationship between that exhibit-only code at the bottom of the style CSS and the link code at the top of the page?

Serious thanks, Jordan
