Link color SAME as visited color

S

Sandra

When I view my page in the browser, or in preview mode,
the link color is the visited color. If I change the
visited color, the link color changes to that.

Before I view it in the browser, the link color is as I
want it, but in the browser it changes. How can I make
the initial color the viewer sees NOT the same as the
visited color?

I have set my Internet explorer to empty the cache on
closing, for I was told this might be the problem, but
this has not solved it.

I believe visited links are stored in the history of the browser, not the
cache.

Wonderful!! That worked. Yea!! I've fought this for over
a year. Now- how can I make a page that I send via e-
mail use a style sheet. I tell the page to use a style
sheet on the website, not on my local computer, but it
still does its on thing: the default colors for links.

Thank you.

You need to use an embedded style sheet, not a reference one.

Also many users see HTML email as text only.

I tried that. Disconnected the style sheet, put the
colors between the <style> and </style> tags, but the
page still used the default colors, even though in
testing it in the browser and the Preview mode it had the
colors I chose. ???? I'm using Outlook, and have sent
other pages successfully, but they used picture links,
not text links. I REALLY want to use text links in this.
Thanks.

Why do you feel that you must have control over the link colors and does the color really impact a
user's access to the content?

You might want to post this to the Outlook newsgroup, however the what each user sees may be
different depending on if they are Outlook Express or other email readers, etc. which may or may not
support style sheets.

The color is important because the default blue does not
go with my color scheme, and I want a rollover effect
which is not available. I had not thought about posting
to an Outlook newsgroup. Thanks. good idea.

Adding to Tom's comments:

Many people have their email set to reading in text only, so the html
formatting will be useless.

You might want to set up your Outlook to see how your email will appear to user's that only accept
email in text only format.
