Help, I'm having problems controlling the colors of my active and visited links. I've used the normal code:

<body link="blue" alink="blue" vlink="violet">

it works on the normal hyperlinks but it has no effect when I am opening a new window with the following:

<a onclick="window.open('../../case1chart2.gif','linkname','height=250, width=410,scrollbars=no')" href="java script:void(0)"><u>enquiries</u></a>

The links are black no matter what I try to do.

Here is the offending page: (there are others with the same problem)

Thanks, David

Using CSS will solve the problem, you will need to use;

<style type="text/css">
a:link {text-decoration: none}
a:visited {text-decoration: none}
a:active {text-decoration: none}
a:hover {text-decoration: underline; color: red;}
</style>

Here is a link with further help. http://www.echoecho.com/csslinks.htm

Put a real URL in the href attribute, like this:

So how don you put links in a GIF? The pup-ups I tried at your page contain just an image, as in your example above. And they have no links.
