Visited link color...

Howdy - Can the color of visited links (when using search engines) be changed from the default purple? I found that option in Camino, but don't see it in Safari. Thanks!

You need to use a CSS style sheet.
Select it in Safari preferences, advanced.
Here is a sample. Save the following 5 lines as plain text, with the extension css. For example, Safari_colors.css
focus { outline: 1px dotted invert }
a:link { color: #990000; text-decoration: none; }
a:link:active { color: #CC0099; outline: gray 1px dotted; }
a:visited { color: #0000FF; text-decoration: none; }
a:visited:active { color: #006699; outline: gray 1px dotted; }
If you put the following javascript in your bookmarks bar, you can see all the color by selecting that bookmark.
javascript:t='';c=new%20Array('00','33','66','99','CC','FF');for(i=0;i%3C6;i+)%7Bt+='%3Ctable%20width=100%25%3E';for(j=0;j%3C6;j++)%7Bt+='%3Ctr%3E';for(k=0; k%3C6;k++)%7BL=c%5Bi%5D+c%5Bj%5D+c%5Bk%5D;t+='%3Ctd%20bgcolor='+L+'%3E'+L%7Dt+=' %3C/tr%3E'%7Dt='%3C/table%3E'%7D;with(document)%7Bwrite(t);void(close())%7D

This works fine with IE..

Hi,
Have a look at the user status table TSOCM_STAT_PROP and see if there are any unwanted PROCESS_TYPE <> STSMA combinations.
For your process type there should only be one kind of status schema assigned.

Change visited link color in Safari 5.1.3

Visited link colors in Safari, most notably visited Google links when I return to the search page, don't change colors as they used to do... Actually, I think it's been that way for a long time (years) now but I am just now coming back around to being interested in why and if there is a way to get back to the days where new links were BLUE and visited links were GREEN (or whatever color you wanted)...
Is this still possible with the new Safari and if so, how do you go about setting this visted link color preference???
thanks... bob...

This appears to be an issue affecting most versions of Safari from about version 5 onwards.
I recently experienced it with Safari version 5.0.6 and eventually found a fix adequate for my purposes.
1 - Sometimes simply selecting 'Private Browsing' (on Safari menu) and then deselecting it cures the problem.
2 - If that does not work I use the following Terminal command which has, so far, worked every time:
defaults write com.apple.Safari RegisteredSafariSyncClient -bool false
I must point out that I do not intend to use any sync services but it appears that if Safari gets confused it is necessary to use this command to reset its sync services.
3 - If you don't like using the Terminal command you could trash the following preference file although this more brutal approach is more likely to lose data:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Quit from Safari before attempting 2 or 3.
I have only tested the Terminal command on Safari 5.0.6 on a Leopard G4 without any user defined sync services but it will probably work on other versions and OSs. It is always safest to backup first.

Visited link colors shows on navigational buttons and icon despite not visited

Hello! I (newbie) have problems in my very first website. Some of my navigational buttons at my footer section and the icon on the lower left shows the visited link color green despite I haven't visited any of the link. There are times these colors are all blue (unvisited links). My URL is http://www.jespir.com. Please help and thank you in advance.

I have the same CSS coding.
Nowhere that I can see.
Open global.css file. Change this:
a:link {
    color: #00F;
a:visited {
    color: #0C0;
a:hover {
    color: #FF0;
a:active {
    color: #CAE0EC;
to this:
a img {border:none}
a {text-decoration:none}
a:link {color: #00F;}
a:visited {color: #0C0;}
a:hover {color: #FF0;}
a:active, a:focus {color: #CAE0EC;}
Remove this from your embedded CSS code. You don't need it.
a:link {
text-decoration: none;
a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
a:active {
text-decoration: none;
Save both documents and upload to server.

Why does the visited link color change not work on some pages. this has only occurred in the past few weeks. 2 different computers Win 7 home pm Firefox 29

On some sites the visited link color does not change. I have checked all settings and they have not changed. I can make the problem change by unchecking the "allow pages to choose thier own colors" box , but the some pages do not display correctly. Things worked fine up to a few weeks ago. I feel it may be a glitch in firefox 29.
Windows 7 home premium SP 1
Firefox 29

Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
*'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
*'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*[[Image:new fx menu]] > Options/Preferences> Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*[[Image:new fx menu]] > Options/Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

How do I stop Safari from Changing Visited Links Color's?

I recently switched from Firefox to Safari since I find Safari much faster. I do have one annoyance though. When I click a link (especially in forums) and revisit a page with that link, Safari is changing the link's color. Firefox did this too, it changed visited links from blue to purple.
I would like to set it somehow so Safari doesn't change the color of visited links at all. Is this possible? When I googled I saw many different posts about using custom made CSS style sheets. I just want to get an 'official' or more relevant answer since many opf those posts were years old. I'm using the latest Safari.
Thanks!

AFAIK, it's not possible with preferences, per se. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7183566 and http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/stylesheets/csslinks.html for possible hints. You might also investigate modifying one of Safari's css files, inside the Safari app—left as an exercise, with no guarantees that you won't cripple something.

Visited Links color in DRW menu

Hey there,
I placed horizontal menu using spry menus from DRW CS3. I had
to change the colors to correspond the website.
I made the background green and the text(links) in the menu
and submenu items - white.
In all browsers and computers i had in home it works fine -
until someone told me that he see the links in BLUE color.
I'm using IE7, Firefox, Opera and Safari for Win. He use IE6.
I find other PC with IE6 - the same problem - ViSITED LINKS
are blue.
Can someone help with a solution???
The browser settings on both IE6 PCs were set to default (no
manual settings for HOVER and VISITED links).

The best way to get an answer is to post a link to the website.
Can you provide one?
As a guess:
Links have five "states"
link (blue by default in most browsers)
visited (purple by default in most browsers)
hover
active
focus
If no rules are defined for one or more of the states then the browsers default color applies.
I'm guessing you've defined a CSS rule for a:link but nothing for a:visited.

Visited links color strange behaviour

Hello,
Browsing my website on the web, visited links are PURPLE, while in Dreamweaver CS3, at Page Properties, I did not designate such color to the visited links.
What could be wrong here?
Thanks,

Visited Links Color

Is there any way to prevent visited links from changing into a different color rather than returning to the original link color? (I know how to do this in HTML, but I can't find any way to do it in iWeb.)

Visited link color not working

I have my pages set to "do not show color change" on a link
that has been visited, but it is defaulting to blue. I checked the
css on all my pages, and it looks right. Why could this be
happening?
Please visit a few pages then return to any of them to see
what I mean. Mouse over should be yellow, normal text grey.
http://ova-media.com/kcptest/index.html
Check the code in the css to verify....but here it is...
a:visited {text-decoration: none;}
Any assistance anyone can provide would be greatly
appreciated.

I know..I really overkilled there. D'oh!

Quickly change visited link color across website?

Hey ya'll,
Is there a automagical way to change visited hyperlink color on my whole iWeb site in one fell swoop in other words anything faster than tediously changing each link through the GUI?
Thanks!

Not across the entire site but for one page I've found that if I click on the Use for New Links on Page button for one link all of the hyperlinks for that page will be converted to its color scheme. But it has to be for all the colors, normal, rollover and visited. Don't know of any way to change just the visited color for many links at a time.

This won't work for the navbar links.

Change Visited Link Color onClick of EPCM function

Hi we have a link within an iview which when clicked opens another iview in the Portal Content Area. We are achieving that using EPCM.doNavigate function. The requirement is to change the link color when visited. We tried using both style sheet and also this.style.color, however, it doesn't take into affect. The same thing when used with a normal href or a js function changes its color.
response.write("<td style='padding: background='"strImagePath"/header-background.gif'><a href=\"" + strQuickLinkName + "\"" + " onclick=\"EPCM.doNavigate(\'" + strChildNodeName + "\'); return false;\" class='Archive'>Archive</a></td>");
Is it that EPCM function doesn't act like normal java scripts or do we need to use any other alternative approach?

On criagslist, however, it doesn't work.
That sounds odd. When I visit craigslist, the links are blue; they turn purple when I hover over them, and orange when I actually click on them. And since it works on other sites, I'll venture a guess that the site was created with Windows users in mind, so it doesn't adhere to web standards, which is why it works fine with IE and Firefox, since they're both prominent browsers on Windows.

Changing Active and Visited link colors.

I am trying to find a way to meet a business users request to
set the color for visited links in the published TOC so that the
users will know which topics they have visited. Is there a way to
do this?
I found where you can edit the skins but it only lets you set
the color for active and hover states, not visited.

Visited link color on unvisited links

This isn't a major issue, just a curiosity, but does anybody know why I often find links on Google and Wikipedia and the like that are purple, like links to pages I've been to, yet I've never visted them? They're not websites I don't remember visiting; I've checked my history to the past year, and nothing.
Who knows why this is?

I DO see what you are talking about, Jeff. After I visit the links embedded in your paragraph of text, they change to the same color as the rest of the text. And unless I move the mouse cursor back over the text and cause the link to underline I would never know that the link existed. I can see how this could be a potential problem for visitors.
I'm afraid that the only way to change this behavior currently is to go into the CSS files published by iWeb and make edits there. I'll include the link to Michael Wong's tutorial page on doing just this here in case you get motivated...
Hyperlinks and CSS in iWeb
Otherwise, the workarounds that I would suggest would be to either not have your links embedded in a paragraph of text (probably less likely to happen). The better workaround is probably to change the color of your NON-hyperlinked "background" text to something else.
I know all this workaround business and CSS editing business is annoying. Let's hope that future versions of iWeb incorporate a little user customization in this area. Good luck to you, Jeff.

Is it possible to disable visited link color for entire site.

I have a 20 page site and am using text links in a sidebar for site navigation between pages. I desire to for a red hover color to appear when mouse cursor is over link. All works well the first time page is visited, cursor placed over Link1 changes color of Link1 text to red. Now if I click on Link1 and then return to the page on which Link1 was located, the cursor placed over Link1 does not show the hover color because the link now has the visited color. while I know I can edit the CSS file for each page (there are 20 or so) CSS to remove the "a:visited....." code to disable the visited color from overriding the hover color, doing so is rather inconvenient since the site is in very active development.
Question: is there any way to globally disable the visited color or disable the visited color in iWeb?

Robbo, at this time it not possible to disable the Edit Layout on the record detail page.
