Make the default Hyperlink the standard blue color

MelissaBrooks — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 21:27:22 GMT

Scope

Popups are designed in webmaps. This issue is for those text elements that are set with default styles/colours.

Issue

The text in these popups are brought through to experience builder. However, in the case of a hyperlink the text is shown in grey not blue if there is no specific style set for that link.

This does not comply with wcag.

There is a 'solved' Query here Solved: Links in Experience Builder popups fail WCAG stand... - Esri Community but I move to consider this as a work around not a solution.

The default blue hyperlink of a standard <a> hyperlink should be at least, by default, set at the application level (experience builder) to show hyperlinks as the blue underline, like this very post does.

If one wishes to to make the hyperlink pink (as an example) sure, there is bounds to do so at the webmap, however for those out-of-the-box hyperlinks that in any other situation would be blue, Experience Builder should follow this universal standard.

Request

I propose to reopen the case for Experience Builder to show hyperlinks as a standard blue underline.

Please get in contact if I can provide any more feedback

100% support this. The workarounds do not work for us as our data is wrapped up in html in the database, and we should not need to fudge workarounds to follow a universal standard.

Hi @MelissaBrooks, you can bring this to the web map ideas/questions channel, since Experience Builder does not control this style in the map pop-up.

This has now been posted to the AGOL Product Ideas as per recommendation.

Subsequent recommendation would include having the ability to move ideas to their appropriate forum categories without having to create a new idea.

@MelissaBrooks oddly enough in ExB there is a section for links, however the color has no effect. Only the underline settings make a difference. I tried adjusting the theme to no avail.

Hi All,

This is fixed on ArcGIS Online in February 2026 and will be available with ArcGIS Enterprise 12.1.

You can change the color of links in pop-ups in theme settings. However, the link style setting in theme settings does not affect links in pop-ups. Links in pop-ups prioritize Map Viewer style settings.

Map Viewer

Experience Builder

Thanks,
