Simple php/html question -- href not visible except when mouse is over

Question

I have this bit of code in a .php file:

<?php ec3_get_events(
    5,                                          // limit
    '%DATE%: <a href="%LINK%">%TITLE%</a> (%TIME%)',  // template_event
'',                                      // template_day
'j',                                     // date_format
'<h2>%MONTH%</h2>' ); ?>

The link ... is only visible when the cursor is hovering over it. I suspect it is a style setting somewhere, but I can't figure out which one it is... TIA for tips...

Answer 1

Use firebug instector and you will find which style it is.

Answer 2

Try to find styles for a and a:hover in a css file (if any?).

Answer 3

How about selecting the text with firefox and then viewing the selected source code. That should do the trick.

Also if it's just a:

 <a href="link"> </a>

Try to select the container and modify it with CSS:

<style type="text/css">
    div.your-wrapper a { color:blue; }
</style>

<div class="your-wrapper">
    <a href="link.php">Invisible Link</a>
</div>

Hope it helps
