The font style and color have changed for text links in SCU Web sites. Previously, links were formatted in bold text with a beige color. We'd received lots of feedback about that style - many people found it difficult to identify links within blocks of text, due to the lack of an underline below the text, and similar color values for standard and linked text. In this style update, links are displayed in red with a dotted-line underline in paragraph text blocks. Links within lists are displayed in red without the underline style, and links within feature elements and the right column elements are displayed in the original style.

The E-mail Contact Form custom element has been updated to allow the "featured content" presentation to be applied. By adding script parameters for a background color for the top of the featured block, and an optional label to use as a heading, any form created using this element can use this formatting.

In the new site design, the page layout uses a fixed width. The previous design had a fluid layout for the center column, and so content of any width could be included without causing display problems (aside from visibility in smaller monitor resolutions). In the new design, content that exceeds the fixed with in the left, center, or right columns can cause display problems. This is most pronounced in Internet Explorer 6, where right column content can be displayed below the center column, if the fixed width has been exceeded. The widths for each column are:
left column: 170px
center column: 420px
right column: 160px
If the right column is not displayed, the content area of the page can use up to 599px of horizontal space.

An image inserted into the Rich Text Editor will not have any margin or alignment applied to it, by default. If you want your image to be aligned to the left or right side, or want the image and any text that flows around it to be separated by a margin, use one of three new styles added to the Rich Text Editor's menu.
