SYMPTOMS
Even though you specified a color for a hyperlink in FrontPage Editor, the hyperlink will appear in the default color used by the Web browser not in the color you specified.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you change the color of a hyperlink by clicking Text Color on the Formatting toolbar or Font on the Format menu. When you use either of these commands, FrontPage applies a font () tag to the hyperlink. Some Web browsers do not support using the font tag with the hyperlink tag.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, you can define the hyperlink settings for the page as a background property. To do this, follow these steps:


 * 1) Open your page in FrontPage Editor.
 * 2) On the File menu, click Page Properties.
 * 3) Click the Background tab.

NOTE: If you applied a theme to the page, the Background tab will not be available.
 * 1) In the Hyperlink, Visited Hyperlink, and Active Hyperlink boxes, select the color you want.
 * 2) Click OK.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows.
