help.not a button rollover but has an effect?

I downloaded a website layout done in Photoshop and was hoping to modify it to fit my own info. At the top it uses a menu bar with blue text. When the site is opened in its html view all text is blue. When a link is clicked that word turns orange. This is not a rollover effect because Imageready does not have a slice with an effect for it. When I try to edit this text something is changed with the properties of it. In the layers window the T to indicate a text box is grey. After I replace the text with my own the T box is it's usual white and the effect no longer works. If you don't understand this explanation Please email me and I will send you a photo of what I am talking about. This is not a rollover effect so I am having a hard time finding a tutorial of how to do it and I don't know why my changing the text to my own deletes the effect. Please give me some ideas.

In HTML you can define default colors for links, links that have been visited, the hover state of links, and "active" links.

This is what you are seeing - someone has set the text color to be orange for visited links. Probably something like this in the CSS

a:visited {
color: #FF9933;
/* or maybe color: orange; */
}


So, if you want to affect that color, look into the files STYLE section, or the CSS files it includes.


Also, if you have a Photoshop file and you want to make a web page from it, you might want to take a look at the SiteGrinder plug-in I wrote to do that: http://www.medialab.com/sitegrinder
There's no slicing, it'll convert all PHotoshop styled text to HTML styled text, and it has support for converting menus to UL&LI based menus, drop down menus, multi-page output, and a lot more. I find that it's quite useful when having to modify these pre-bought Photoshop templates.

Hope this helps,

That is not the fix for the problem.
Someone else please give me some help on this!
