But I can't seem to get it right.
Tried several ways of writing it.

I think it has something to do with the general settings of TP, maybe standaard link color or something.

If I put this in  dreamweaver it is correct.
This is what I normally write down.
When this didn't work I tried other possible things.

it is about this line.
When I hide html, I see the word is blue, but not on the portal.

<a href="http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/00UcRFpEqW5J" target="_blank"><b><font size="3"><fontcolor=blue>e-mail</fontcolor></fontsize></b></a>

I will go search some more thanks.

You may be using an old version of DreamWeaver.  The font tag is deprecated and will probably be removed as a valid tag at some time in the future.  Fonts should be colored now using styles.  Also, fontcolor is not a valid tag, nor is color.  Color is an attribute in the deprecated font tag, not a tag itself.

Yeah old stuff and Dreamweaver is a pile of.... oops sorry...  >:D


Try things like this :

<a style="color: green" href="mylink">Title</a>

OK Thank you ZarPrime and Freddy.
It is blue now with your code.

I use Dreamweaver CS3, I know there are newer versions, so maybe it is time to get one.

If you spent just a month learning HTML and CSS then you would save yourself a lot of money in the process.  Knowing how to code by yourself will always give you more power than anything like Dreamweaver could hope to do.

Still, I see the attraction in doing things quickly... that's just my impression after trying numerous WYSIWYG editors over the years.  Good luck to you :)

Thanks,
I have a HTML course lying here.
And CSS I was intending to do next.
When I was just starting this course I had to a few eye operations.
I'm lucky to still see only with on eye.
But now all is stable and  it is time to finally pick up that course again.

Thanks for your help.

I am sorry to hear that, but I hope you can figure out the HTML and CSS, it will give you a lot of freedom with what you can do.  It's not too bad to learn I found, just takes time like anything worth doing.

Maybe even combine the two and study Dreamweaver and hand coding and get the best of both worlds.

I wish you all the best :)

Thanks Freddy and yes I was thinking that to to take a dreamweaver course CSS is in that to.
I hope to find a good course on the net or I go and buy me some books.
I'm sure going to pick it all back up now, I'm always willing to learn more things.

and the websites I make it sure would give me more options I think.

You'll never really learn html and css as long as you are using Dreamweaver.  And once you do learn html and css, you'll never want to go back to Dreamweaver again.

Book suggestion: Build Your Own Web Site The Right Way Using HTML & CSS, 2nd Edition - SitePoint Books (http://www.sitepoint.com/books/html2/)

Thank you WillyP for the book suggestion, really appreciate it.

I'm going to see if I can order this book from that website for my country.
