How Did I Screw Up?

Let me start by saying I am not, at all, the most knowledgeable guy when it comes to this high tech stuff.
Yet, for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to tweak my site a little bit.
My site, The Naked Investor, has upper and lower navigation bars. I decided to change the wording of a few of the links in those bars, starting wiht the Home Page. I changed "Programs" to "Mentoring Programs", and I changed "Training" to "One on One Training". The upper navigation bar is fine.
However, ever since I made this change the lower bar has this little glitch that I would like to correct. If you click on any of those links the text turns blue, as they should. Except for the two links I mentioned, Mentoring Programs and One on One Training. They remain white for some reason. No big deal as the links are functional, but I'm curious.
If it matters, I made the changes with MS Front Page.
Thank you.

For some strange reason, I can't view the source code for your site. I would guess that it has to do with the CSS. Look at the links that are turning blue the way you want them to. In the <a href> tag there is probably something that says class=YOURCLASSNAME. Copy that and put it in the other two links.

Hi, Andrea. I don't know why you can't view the source code. Then again, webmastering and site building aren't my thing.
Having said that, I must admit to being in a fog with the instructions you gave me about changing the code.

Ah, I can view source now... it was something on my end.

Here is a section of your code with the correct CSS classes:

<a href="mentoring_programs.html" class="foot1A">Mentoring Programs</a> | <a href="one_on_one_training.html" class="foot1A" >One on One Training</a>

Andrea, is this supposed to mean something to me

?
HTML and coding is not something I have any familiarity with.

your changed code looks like

PHP Code:


			
 <a href="one_on_one_training.html"><font color="#FFFFFF">One on One Training</font></a>

since the font color=#FFFFFF is in front of the shown link name it overrides your CSS staement............ OMIT the font color=#FFFFFF so it shows as

PHP Code:


			
 <a href="one_on_one_training.html">One on One Training</a>

then the mouseovers css will work.......................
