Hi,

Has anyone had any experience in changing the color of an image where a hyperlink has been added to that image?

Below is exactly what I have done so far step-by-step:-

Step 1

Inserted the image

Step 2

Clicked on the image and selected hyperlink to add link URL

Step 3

In the insert/edit hyperlink window, selected the tab events

Step 4

Entered the html color code #FFD700 to the section onmouseover

However, step 4 does not happen, please help!

Is this In an email?

You can't use JS events in email.  At all.

You can use CSS hover effects (which you should use instead of JS events on HTML pages as well) but with limited support.

Yes it is in an email.

Is there a code I can enter to use the CSS hover effects?

Don't believe Marketo even supports the <STYLE> tags for this, though other ESPs do. Maybe someone else has a trick to force them into a Mkto template.

But email client support is spotty enough (did you follow my link above?) that you'd only be enhancing the email for a fraction of your clients.  You have to make the email fully usable and approvable without such enhancements, so you should worry about making an attractive, predictable, responsive layout rather than adding effects.
