How do I get my hyperlinks from changing colors after clicking on

I am using FrontPage 2000. Whenever I click on a link to check it before and
after I publish my pages, it changes from blue to another color whenver
anyone views it with a browser. How do I keep the hyperlinks from changing
colors? I would like to keep all my hyperlinks blue.

Thanks
 
You have to change the color of the visited link property for that page.
Just make a note though, some people find this annoying as they like to know
where they have been before and rely on the color change. Try right-clicking
on the page to bring up the context menu. Select Page Properties to bring up
the page properties dialog. Once there, choose the formatting tab and set
the color for the visited link to be the same color as the active link, or
whatever color you wish it to be.

Hope this helps,

Mark,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I tried it. The problem remains even after I repubished the page to the web.
The first time someone visits the page (even if they haven't used the
hyperlink), the "visited" link is still a different color.

Is it possible that there is some code that is causing this?

Thanks!
 
1. Clear the history in your browser.
2. Make sure your browser is looking at the most recent file, and not a cached copy.

I have found that in situations where one is making changes and previewing
the results in a "real browser" (not in the FP preview) that it is almost a
requirement that you hit the refresh button on the browser to get the current
saved version in FP.

Okay. One VERY simple way to ajust your hyperlink propertires to the set
color of blue is the following script: (Insert into the head of your document)
<style type="text/css">
a:link {color : blue};
a:visited {color : blue};
a:active {color : blue};
 
So tell me. Does it work or not. I'll let you decide. There is a very
simple way to do it with HTML as well, it just looks more messy:

<body alink="blue" vlink="red" link="black">

<a href="#">Black</a>. It changes to blue when you click it, and red when
you let go.

</body>
 
I works, but it a) produces invalid markup, b) doesn't give you the
opportunity to change anything other than color, c) doesn't include a hover
style, and d) did I say it's invalid? 8)
