fading links. When I first read the title I was thinking of the javascript ones that faded in and out slowly, but apparently that's not the case. If you mean the ones that when you mouseover the links they change color, well that's something you can do in CSS. if it must fade to a lighter color, than specify a lighter color for hover.

a {font-family: Arial;
color: FF9000;
text-decoration:none;}

a:hover {font-family: Arial;
color: FF0000;
text-decoration:underline;}

a:visted {font-family: Arial;
color: FF9000;
text-decoration:none;}

that's something I pulled out of one of my old files directly. it changes the link colors. just specify the colors you want under color. I hope this is what you're talking about.

LoVe/HAte Kemosabi!! LoVe/HAte!!!

a, a:link, a:visited {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#FF9000; text-decoration:none;}

a:hover {color:#FF0000; text-decoration:underline;}

a:active {color:#FF9000;}

that's how i'd mark it up. don't forget your pound signs before the hexidecimal color values Also notice the cascade -- certain attribues will flow down in the other ones. You only need to alter what you need changed from the previous states.

if you're calling the Arial font, the way I wrote up the family is the most proper way to do it. could even be font-family: Arial, sans-serif; if you really wanted.

I'm 99.5% sure that they aren't talking about a:hover{} codes directly. I think they are referring to when you mouseover a (for example) white link, and it fades from white to blue, getting the full color range inbetween (white to sky blue to dark blue, for instance). They look really nice when done properly.

theward - something I pulled from one of my old files. in the past two weeks my CSS has been improving, it's looking better, working better, etc. I've done a lot of updateing to my newest creation, though I haven't uploaded any of it yet, been too busy.

kickersny - he said like they have on the forums. there are no links that truly fade like that on the forums that I've seen. however, I could have read something wrong, I know I do that a lot. oh well, we'll all figure it out sometime.

I think in the old version of the forums, it used to do that.
