Setting Color of Hyperlink in Table

ecarecar · Post by **ecarecar** » Sun May 10, 2009 4:06 am

I have created a 6 row, 1 column table.
I made the table background blue.
I put one word in each of the 6 cells. The letters of the word are set to white.
I create a hyperlink with the word in the first cell. The link is to a URL such
as http://www.google.com. I save the file as HTML. Everything done as above is OK.

If I were to create a hyperlink to that first word that went to a file on my computer
e. g., c:/aaa/webpage/technolo.html (which would eventually be uploaded), there is a problem.
The odt file looks and performs as intended. When saved as html, there is a problem. Specifically,
the text is red and underlined. I have been unable to make the text save as HTML white and without
underlining.

How can I make the text white without underline?

I think in Writer the hyperlink inherits the colour from the table, whereas in your browser it does not; a possible solution is to specify a colour for hyperlinks explicitly, by altering the Internet Link character style – see the Styles and Formatting Window (F11). The downside of this approach is that you change the colour of all hyperlinks in your document.

I am doing that, if I understand you correctly. I am specifying the color, specifically, white.

It works fine until I save the file as html. Then, the color gets changed, and it seems to be beyond my control. And, this seems to be the case only when the target file is local - not when it is on the web, e.g. http://www.google.com or whatever you choose. Perhaps, it is just the text used. Perhaps whatever translation process used treats c:\directory\. . . differently than it treats http://www.domainname.com just as this editor automatically treats the examples that begin with "www" as links and"c:\domainname\. . ." as not links. I don't know. I hope somebody has a work-around.
