Does anyone know how to control the color of hyper link text once it is clicked. I know how to use the color tag but once it is pressed it always goes purple. I assume this is the default, is there a way to change it ?

Thanks.

You can define that color in your page's body tag. Like so:


<body vlink="#00FF00">


You can change that color to whatever you like. The example above will turn links green after they have been visited.

Yes, use CSS

Put this code inside your HEAD TAG

EXAMPLE:

<HEAD>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
A:link {color: #0000FF }
A:visited {color:#0000FF }
A:active {color:#00FF00 }
A:hover {color: #FF0000 }
-->
</STYLE>
</HEAD

The above colors are:
BLUE
BLUE
GREEN
RED

Change to any color to suit your "text" links by changing the color code

If I am not mistaken, you can just use the common name of the color, ie., red, blue, etc.
