Link Colour after clicking

Hi Guys,

I was hoping that one of you could help me out with this.

I just made page in Dreamweaver and when I click the links the colour changes.

What code do I need to add to determine the colour after links are clicked?

I'm not using a CSS for this single page.

Thanks

 

You could add this at the top of your page and change the colour for when the link has been visited:

<style type="text/css">
A:link {text-decoration: none}
A:visited {text-decoration: none; color: red}
A:active {text-decoration: none}
A:hover {text-decoration: underline;}
</style>

 

Worked like a charm, thanks!!

 

You're welcome!

 

Not sure I understand, are you looking to find out what the colour of visited links is or how to change that colour?

The colour of visited links is defined by the :visited attribute.

Best thing to do if you want to change the colour would be to to create a CSS style in Dreamweaver.

Click on one of your links, next to the style box in the properties panel, you should see a CSS button. This opens the CSS panel on the right. Click new CSS Rule (towards the bottom of the CSS panel) and choose selector type as tag. Find the tag 'a' from the list and then style how you want the link to appear. You can then repeat to create another CSS rule but this time, instead of just selecting a, type a:visited into the tag box. Then style how you want visited links to appear and you're done. The good thing about doing it this way is that all links wil be styled how you want in one go. (Please excuse me if I'm stating the obvious but I wasn't sure of the level you're at)

Using this method, you can also set the hover attribute using a:hover so that the links change colour, etc when you mouse over them.

If you're looking to find out what colour is being used for visited links, switch to code view and search for a:visited, you should then see the colour code, alternatively, you may see the attibutes within the links themselves in the HTML code.

Hope that helps.

 

Dreamweaver has code editing capabilities right? You could also search for keywords in codes.. Search for the color or :visited or style or anything.

 

Thanks Limotek, I wanted to change the colour of visited links. I've learned dreamweaver myself and I didn't use the CSS button before but it's a great tip.

I now copied the text from drew's post into my editor. Next time I'll use the CSS button.

Another rep given, thanks!!

@ Cipals, this was the problem, I made the page myself and I didn't know how to name this or how to do this.
