Change colour of a link

Hello

Does anyyone know how to change the colour of a hyper link?

I know if you use the following code, when you click the link, the page changes to the new page and if you go back the colour of the link had changed so you know you have already been there (visited that part)

<A href="/MyIntranet/Contents/MyPageToShow.asp">Page Shown</A>

I've put this style into my code which changes the colour and works fine, but when i click another link, the colour of the previous link changes back to its orignal colour

<head>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>

Also, I have a refresh on the page, so when the page refreshes the colour of the clicked link goes back to its orginal colour

What i want to do is have a hyper link that opens a new page in a different browser session, and when clicked the hyper link colour changes, i can do the link to open the new page in another browser session and change the colour of the clicked hyper link, but what i can't figure out it to keep the changed colour after the page has refreshed, and when more than one link is clicked

Thanks for all your help

Use the VLINK ATTRIBUTE to show a different colour for links that have been visited.

Can you give an example of using the VLINK ATTRIBUTE

Thanks

I know this sounds silly, but move you hover style to the top so the page sees that first, then the visited link next, then link, then active.. it will use what it sees first.

Here's what I do for hyperlinks...I use a linked CSS for the anchor tags, amongst other tags.

Code:

a:link {
	color: #0000CC;
}

a:visited {
	color: #511A8B;
}

a:hover {
	color: #CC0000;
}

Then I reference the CSS in my HTML pages...

Code:

<link href="../global/global.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

HTH!
