Is there any way to change the colours on links further down the document to
alternate colours?

I would like to have some of my links as one colour, and others to be an
alternate colour, but I am not able to figure out how to do this...I need
help!

Thanks!

You could probably do this with CSS

Even if you can ... Please don't, as it only makes life a lot more

Well you may have a point. But I need my navigation links one color and the
other body links another, I think in this case it will be fine...But I did
find out how to do it in the event anyone cares LOL

<a href="name"> <font color="#000000">textgoeshere</font>

Maybe it's an intranet.

But that isn't the right way to do it. I'm not even sure if it will work
in every case.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Seems to be working fine for me

Although I did forget to close the anchor in the example

Should read
<font color="#000000">textgoeshere</font><!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Using separate colors for navigation and body is not alternating. When you
said alternate, I thought that the first link would be blue, then the next
red and so on...

You should use a style sheet. Also, the <font> tag is depricated.

Your style could be:

a.body {
color: #0000FF;
}
a.nav {
color: #FF0000;
}

For body links: Main links
For navigation links: Navigation Links

Take a look here when you get a minute:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.google.com/search?q=different+color+links+css" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/search?q=different+color+links+css</a>

here's one way... this also changes the behaviour of the link underlining.
change it to taste if design is a priority, or strip out the effect if you
want maximum readability.

<style>

A {color: #99FFFF; font-family: VERDANA,ARIAL,HELVETICA;font-size: 11px;}
A:link { text-decoration: underline; color:#000000;}
A:visited { text-decoration: underline; color:#000000;}
A:hover { text-decoration: underline; color:#D8548E;}

In his second post he specified that he wanted the navigation links to be
one color and the body links be another color. Your solution simply makes
all links the same color.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

my bad Smile

in css...

A.navbar {color: #99FFFF; font-family: VERDANA,ARIAL,HELVETICA;font-size:
11px;}
A.navbar:link { text-decoration: underline; color:#000000;}
A.navbar:visited { text-decoration: underline; color:#000000;}
A.navbar:hover { text-decoration: underline; color:#D8548E;}
A:link { text-decoration: underline; color:#000000;}
A:visited { text-decoration: underline; color:#000000;}
A:hover { text-decoration: underline; color:#D8548E;}

in the navbar HTML...

item1<a href="2.htm"
class="navbar">item2</a>item3

the body text will pick up the default styling.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Please see <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.aww-faq.org/#quickanddirty" target="_blank">http://www.aww-faq.org/#quickanddirty</a> "Posting Messages in AWW"

Would you want your employees looking at an Intranet like that?

Besides, the OP wasn't very clear what he/she meant by alternating colors.
He/she wants the navigation links a different color than the rest of the
links.
