Hello. Is there a way/place to change the default inlink link colors for unvisited and visited? They display as bright blue and bright purple, respectively and I want them to match the brown/tan color scheme of my site instead. I would suggest that as an addition to the Inline Link dialog box in the future.
Second, I have an image with inline link (which is the coolest), but it pops under the flash swf file just above it. I've searched the Flash site and tried a fix posted there (publish opaque or transparent) but it didn't work. Any clues?
Here's the link to see what I'm talking about: http://pmihotels.com/hotels_bwkirkwood.html
It's the top right picture under the flash slideshow. If I can get these two issues fixed, all the images on the right will be inline linked.
Thanks!

Ah ha! Still looking for the link color options, any tips would be great, however...
For anyone else having issues with their inline links popping under a flash: Publish the Flash using Window Mode of Transparent (Windowless). Opaque didn't work, but following these directions for transparent did. Not sure where I went wrong the first time I tried it. I had edited the code manually instead of following the dreamweaver portion of the instructions. Probably just missed something or made a typo.

Picky, picky, picky :-)
You can edit the link tag to include style="border:1px solid #9C793F"
OR
Get today's update 6.20.080201. It includes two options on the Inline Link tool. You can set the link color if linking to text, or set the border size and color if linking to an image. That adds the above style to the link tag.
BTW!! Thanks for the tip on wmode="transparent". I've REALLY wondered how to do that. THANKS!!

Yup, picky. Always have been. But, I love Editwrx! It's a fairly recent find and I'm figuring out new stuff everyday. Thanks for a terrific product. I'm about one more site away from buying the branding capability.
I'll install the new update that you have. That should do exactly what I want.
Feel free to view and copy that source code for flash transparent if you don't use dreamweaver. I just compared the fixed one to one that didn't work and figured out that I had missed the wmode in the AC_FL_RunContent script above the <object tag. It doesn't say anything about that in the KB article. That goofy thing is everywhere!
Later!

Hmm. That doesn't quite do what I had in mind after all. It appears by using the updated version, and putting in a border color, I still get the yucky blue border around my image. Not the popup image (it's fine), rather the one that I highlighted and linked (the thumbnail). Could you take a look again and let me know what you think? Seems like it should pick up the a:link property defined in the css.
It's weird because if I create a regular text link, it appears correctly colored in that same block. As in the example.
Thanks again.

The source in that page shows
<A title="Click To View Image" style="COLOR: #9c793f" onclick='wrx_zoom("IMG",this.href,448,298,0);return false' href="/images/bwfull/BestWestern_004.jpg" target="zoom" zoom="1">
That indicates that you used the default radio button to color a Text link. Check the radio button below that one to set the border px width and color for an image. A COLOR style in an A tag on an image will have no effect, it needs a BORDER style set.

I'm sorry, Kevin. I did the border and it put a border and the yucky blue. I had also tried a couple of other things and forgot to change it back for you to see. I've set it now to the border and it's using this code:
| <A title="Click To View Image" style="BORDER-RIGHT: #7e6610 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #7e6610 2px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #7e6610 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #7e6610 2px solid" onclick='wrx_zoom("IMG",this.href,448,298,0);return false' href="/images/bwfull/BestWestern_004.jpg" target="zoom" zoom="1"> |
...but still has the blue around it also. I must be missing something.

I overlooked something. ANY image that gets enclosed by an href tag will automatically inherit (and display) a border IF you have not specifically set the image's border to zero. That's just a basic HTML thing. Since the inherited image border is inside the href tag's style border it take precidence.
Your image tag does not contain a border attribute. Change
<IMG height="83" src="/images/bwthmb/BestWestern_004.jpg" width="125" />
to
<IMG height="83" src="/images/bwthmb/BestWestern_004.jpg" width="125" border=0/>

Beautiful! Thank you so much. I guess I should go grab that dusty HTML 101 book off the shelf. I've gotten spoiled with DW doing so much for me.
And again, thanks for a great product. Letting the client work out the details of the content makes my job much easier and allows me to move through each design project more quickly.
