How to change hyperlink color styles
Question: How do I change hyperlink color style of my html links?
Answer: You can do this by adding CSS to your web page. Try the following to change the a href tages:
<style type=”text/css”>
<!—
a:link {
color: #333333;
}
a:visited {
color: #FFFFFF;
}
a:hover {
color: #CCCCCC;
background-color: #333333;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:active {
color: #333333;
}
–>
</style>
a:link is the links color
a:visited is the color for all links clicked
a:hover is the link style when your mouse hovers over the link.
A:active is the color when the link is active.
If you just want to make a simple color change to all your web links, just do:
<style type=”text/css”>
<!—
a { color: #0099ff; }
–>
</style>
In other words, all links should be #0099ff or what ever color you chose regardless if you’ve visited or are hovering over a link or not.
