    Try this... This would be inserted in the line starting with "Contact your Chapter Representative" ending with "<a>Hoosier Alliance Website</a></td></tr>" if you are editing the whole page.

    Contact your Chapter Representative: <a style="color: Blue;font-weight: bold;font-style: italic;background-color: transparent;text-decoration: none;border-top: 1px solid transparent;border-bottom: 1px solid transparent;border-right: 1px solid transparent;border-left: 1px solid transparent;;" target="_top" href="http://boards.theforce.net/PrivateMessages/SendMessage.aspx?usr=1176601">atataboy</a>||Contact your RSA:<a style="color: Yellow;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;background-color: Black;text-decoration: none;border-top: 1px solid transparent;border-bottom: 1px solid transparent;border-right: 1px solid transparent;border-left: 1px solid transparent;;" target="_top" href="http://boards.theforce.net/PrivateMessages/SendMessage.aspx?usr=643382">echo-3</a>||<a class="MainMenuLink"href="http://www.hoosieralliance.com/">Hoosier Alliance Website</a></td></tr>

    or seperated if they have an interface for you where you just enter the info for each item...

    Me:

    <a style="color: Blue;font-weight: bold;font-style: italic;background-color: transparent;text-decoration: none;border-top: 1px solid transparent;border-bottom: 1px solid transparent;border-right: 1px solid transparent;border-left: 1px solid transparent;;" target="_top" href="http://boards.theforce.net/PrivateMessages/SendMessage.aspx?usr=1176601">atataboy</a>

    You:

    <a style="color: Yellow;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;background-color: Black;text-decoration: none;border-top: 1px solid transparent;border-bottom: 1px solid transparent;border-right: 1px solid transparent;border-left: 1px solid transparent;;" target="_top" href="http://boards.theforce.net/PrivateMessages/SendMessage.aspx?usr=643382">echo-3</a>

    Site

    <a class="MainMenuLink"href="http://www.hoosieralliance.com/">Hoosier Alliance Website</a>

    There is some odd formating (odd for what I am used to) so I am not sure how much you get to edit, or what your interface looks like, but hopefully that will help you along. I am sure Tim can correct things if I missed something or am incorrect.

    to make my name standard change font-style: italic to font-style: normal

    There is a trick to use, but would have to show you (rather elaborate to explain in a single post right now). Most of it is standard web elements, but there are CSS components as well.. you can examine them by going up to view/page source. If you are using safari, it's there somewhere, but can't remember where exactly.

    I do web design, but its secondary function to my job dictated by necessity, rather than it being my primary, such as it is with Tim. :) That's why he is awesome :D

    Oh, you mean on here. I thought it was ok to be italicized.

    It's under View -> View Source in Safari.

    To be fully truthful web design isn't my primary job function, programming is, however since most of the apps that I program are web-based apps I end up doing the web design as well. :)

    And thanks for the compliment. :)

    All of the styling is done inline in the code (with the exception of the HA website link) which can make things messy and difficult to read. It's why I love working with something like Dreamweaver which can keep track of what's what for me if I have to do a lot of CSS inline.

    Anyway, not completely sure why there is a transparent border around your names, however I'm guessing it's for spacing reasons (give you a 1px space around your names that's still clickable). Technically I don't believe you need that extra semicolon at the end of the style sections, there should be a space between class="MainMenuLink" and href="http://www.hoosieralliance.com/", and you can replace the whole

    border-top: 1px solid transparent;border-bottom: 1px solid transparent;border-right: 1px solid transparent;border-left: 1px solid transparent;

    section with:

    border: 1px solid transparent;

    so the individual ones would be (removing the italics for atataboy)

    atatboy:

    <a style="color: Blue;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;background-color: transparent;text-decoration: none;border: 1px solid transparent;" target="_top" href="http://boards.theforce.net/PrivateMessages/SendMessage.aspx?usr=1176601">atataboy</a>

    echo-3:

    <a style="color: Yellow;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;background-color: Black;text-decoration: none;border: 1px solid transparent;" target="_top" href="http://boards.theforce.net/PrivateMessages/SendMessage.aspx?usr=643382">echo-3</a>

    and the link part would be:

    <a class="MainMenuLink" href="http://www.hoosieralliance.com/">Hoosier Alliance Website</a>

    Just my quick notes on this. The code that RC came up with should work just fine (as you can tell); mine just cleans and shortens it a bit. :)

    Very true, I was just replicating the protocols they were using. CSS is much easier when there is a CSS master file IMHO. I would imagine it has to do with how the names can be edited in appearance.
