Highlighting First Link
11/12/2008 11:26:47

Is there a way to highlight the first link without using css?
For example, can I do:

<a href="#" style="font-weight: 900;" onclick="turnBackBold (this);">link 1</a>

Thanks!

Sure, you can do it that way. But it is CSS, it's just inline.

Great script. How could I ensure the first link shows up bold when the page is first loaded? Thanks!

Place this in your CSS file:

.boldLink [
font-weight: 900;
}

Then add the class to the link:

<a href="#" class="boldLink" onclick="turnBackBold (this);">this is link 1</a><br>

thank you. I am trying to create this website graphicchimp
and saw your tutorial.

Is it possible using this BOLD LINKS technique to have a graphic appear in place of the bold text.

Yes, but you would need to re-write the script. If you need additional help, you'll need to post your question over on the forums.

Question

How would you change the source code so that when you clicked on a link, the text would go bold AND you would do something, like load a new page?

Do you write JavaScripts?
If you do, why not submit them to us?
