hello,

I need the snippet of code to change the color from "blue"

to change to red on "mouse over" or "mouse touch", as it

does here on the TEK-TIP labels.

on a command word to open a new page?

What you need is CSS pseudo classes. In IE they only work on links (the <a> tag) but it seems you are looking for that. Here's how you do it:

<style>
a:link, a:visited { color: blue; }
a:hover { color: red; }
</style>

<a href=&quot;uri.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;>Open in new windows</a>

The problem with this is that all your links will follow this behaviour. So you can define a special class and apply it only to those you want:

<style>
a.classname:link, a.classname:visited { color: blue; }
a.classname:hover { color: red; }
</style>

<a href=&quot;uri.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;classname&quot;>Open in new windows</a>

Thanks Vragabond,

Where should one store this &quot;class&quot;? I am just catching on the CSS.

This code should do the job for you:

Code: 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE TYPE=&quot;text/css&quot;>
a:link		{ color: blue; }
a:visited	{ color: blue; }
a:hover 	{ color: red; }
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<A HREF=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.co.uk/&quot;>Click[/URL] here</A> to visit Google UK...
</BODY>
</HTML>

Hope this helps!

Happy New Year BillyRayPreachersSon,

I was only able to get one label to respond to the code and it comes out the wrong color, green since I made green the color of a label 'visited' Could you look at my web site:


and go to the spanish --->>> and then to links.... and you will see the labels .

Hmmm, I did what you asked but there was no css code there. Incidentaly, your buttons do not work in Mozilla 1.4 (as well as browsers which have javascript disabled) - I had to reach the page by manually typing URLs.
