    I have a problem where my html links are showing up as white text. This doesn't work too well with my site's white background. How do I change the font color for my html links?

    thx,

    You can simply add a font tag around the words that you want to change the color for. For example:

    <font color="#0066CC">Hi there</font>

    Here is a font color chart for the numbers: http://www.immigration-usa.com/html_colors.html

    Look thru your style sheets and find the entry in there that is affecting the color. It will look something like one of these:

    That's actually a VERY bad idea, especially given that the FONT element has been deprecated (rendered obsolete) for at least a decade now; especially when a much better (and far more accessible and easier to maintain) alternative exists - CSS.
