DHTML changes color (from green to blue) upon compile

I have RH HTML 8.0.2.208

Compiling to Microsoft HTML Help

When I compile, the DHTML drop-downs change color from green to blue.

I need them to remain green. Anyone know what might be causing this?

It started happening kinda randomly - it was green the last 10 times I compiled, suddenly all the DHTML drop-downs (in the output) are blue.

They remain green in the project (in the Design view).

Thanks

Welcome to our community, LIsa

Generally speaking, these are known as Hyperlinks. The colors are typically controlled by CSS (Cascading Stylesheet Specification) rules. It's possible that the rules state one color for unvisited and the other for visited?

Perhaps you need to explore the CSS rules defined.

The DHTML drop-downs are not treated as links in the style sheet; they're "Drop-Down Hotspot" and "Expanding Hotspot."

.in HTML view, for one of the problem drop-down hotspots, this is what I see:

"<a class="dropspot" href="javascript:TextPopup(this)"
id="a1" style="background-color: Transparent;">"

I checked the style sheet for "Drop-Down Hotspot" and "Expanding Hotspot" and both are defined as green italics. But after I compile, they change color to blue. I also checked that the correct style sheet is being used - it is. I haven't changed the style sheet.

Also, this started happening randomly, then "took over" the entire project (each time I compiled, more turned blue).
