You can see the hovered link background in IE or an AOL browser..

You can see its just a purple bar [when you hover over a text link]..

I DID have the code my freshman year of highschool for the border to be multicolored [one side green, one side orange, etc.].. Would anyone know what Im talking about? Im about to go into 11th grade, and my old computer died some months ago, loosing all information after it comming out of a 10 month safe mode..

Here is my current code for the plain purple bar as the background hover link decoration [i guess you could call it that]

A:link { text-decoration:none; color:"#660099";}
A:active { text-decoration:none; color:"#660099";}
A:visited { text-decoration:none; color:"#660099";}
A:hover { text-decoration:none; color:"#000000"; background color: #9933ff; cursor: crosshair; TEXT-DECORATION: none; height: 0; filter: flipv}

THANKS IN ADVANCE

It can be any color combination as well as a background & text color I believe..

no, not quite :(

It isnt an image, just color codes merged somehow.

When you hover, the borders itself have different colors. Its not animated at all.

The text can have a different color than the borders, as well as the background color. Im looking for where the borders of it are different colors, than just the flat purple i have right now.

hmm.. A tiny example could be, the flat purple link background I have at the moment, I could make that black, and the borders could be dashed. Instead of it being dashed, I wish for it to be multicolored.

I probably didnt make any sense there heh :crying:

I think this may explain what I want better..


I just threw the animated one together in like 5 seconds, so excuse how bad the quality is & the colors lacking..

The one you showed me isn't what I was looking for, which is like this:

Im looking for one with color codes, not a picture, but actual color codes so it'll be "still".. since obviously Im horrible at making images :p

thanks for your help though, elsewhere no one would have the slightest idea.

Im not that great at making the graphics. Even if I screen shot the correct width & recolor it while hovering over the link, it just looks too fake for me.
