Anchors and visited links

I have some in-page links (anchors in xhtml). I have a
visited look to them. This all works fine in Firefox, each one
individually changes when visited independant of others. When I use
IE6 and I change site pages I find that all the in-page links on
ALL pages have been set to visited! Does anyone know why?
<div class="leftsideCol">
<ul>
<li class="title">In-Page links</li>
<li><a href="#contact">Contact
Us</a></li>
<li><a href="#map">Our
Location</a></li>
<li><a
href="#timetables">Timetables</a></li>

</ul>

I suspect its to do with the'#' as when there is a # on its
own this seems to be how links behave (default?). I have no
specific CSS for these links.

Certainly, thanks for your time:

Pagination and visited links issue

I am creating reports on two tables which are structurally same but hold different set of data. I created one report page using SQL Query using PL/SQL function body returning SQL Query. The trick is to set a request value based on the link clicked by the user to run the query on the correct table. I am using following pagination scheme.
"Search Engine 1,2,3,4(set based pagination)â
The issue is with the âvisited linkâ behavior of the links to the record sets in the pagination navigation bar (shown on the bottom right corner of the report region for each result set). Say the user has visits link 3 in pagination navigation bar on the report number one on table A. The browser correctly shows this link in visited link color. Now, if user opens report number 2 on table B, they see the link 3 again in visited color even if they are there for the very first time. This is sounds like a cosmetic nuisance, but this is sort of confusing for the users.
I guess, since I am using the same page definition for both reports, the pagination object and associated links for the result sets in the pagination have same values. From browser perspective it is the same link and hence the links are shown visited.
Is there a way that I can force a new pagination object based on which table I am accessing still using only one report page defined in HTMLDB. I do not want to create separate page for each report on each table.
Thanks
Salman

I guess it was too wordy or it was not clear enough.
In short, is it possible to clear out the visited link status (color changed) of the links to pagination resultset of a report within same session. The pagination type is "Search Engine 1,2,3,4(set based pagination)." I am using patched version 1.5.
Thanks

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.

Hi libby66675 and welcome to our community
Is this for WebHelp or a compiled .CHM?

Flash anchors and html links

forgive my ignorance, i am new to all this...
i have made a flash movie that i want to be able to link to
from an external html file. i managed to get this to work by using
flash anchors - not as hard as i would have thought, hurrah! but
when i use the links, while it jumps to the correct spot in my
movie, the rest of the buttons in my flash movie stop working so i
can't navigate within it any longer.
i don't understand why this happens because the movie works
fine when i don't access it via the html links..
help!!!

Thanks for response.
Yea you all are right I have the stand alone version. Looking through the different versions link -> http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/en_US/DisplayCategoryProductListPage&CategoryID=55985400
What version would I need to enable flash compiling. At this point I can live with PPT compiling, but would like to know how much I would need to spend if I need the option.
Thanks,
Arun

How to: Add Internal anchors to a PDF and then link from an external webpage?

Hi,
I work in email marketing and create html emails that we send through our own web based system. I am just wondering if it is possible at all to create internal anchors with unique urls that I can then link to from my html email as a hyperlink?
The client has created the PDF and I am wondering if I can create the anchors and when linking to these anchors from my email, it downloads the file and opens to that specific anchor location?
Thanks in advance.

I seem to having a new issue with this task. Thanks to Bernd I have managed to create named destinations within the PDF document. From there I have then created the email and linked the pdf url with the destination tag to open to that location. However what we're finding now is that once the PDF has been downloaded once, if you go back to the email and select another link it opens the PDF in the last viewed state.
This client has created one PDF containing many different articles. In the email she has created a table of contents and wants to link from each listed article to that destination in the PDF. But once you have clicked on one link, shut down browser, go back to the email and select another link it just opens what you were viewing last. Is this a cache issues? Are we using the named destination method in the correct manner?
We tried suggesting, linking once to the PDF and then from the PDF creating a table of contents with internal anchors however the client doesn't want this.
Suggestions?

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.

How to keep visited links from changing color?

FIRST, I want to say that it took me 10 minutes to find (accidentally) how to start a new thread. In my profile? Could it be any more obscure?
</rant>
Yeah, I go to change page properties and make links and visited links the same color. It still changes, and this happens to be on a page where the background color provides poor contrast to the color the links are changing to. Is there a way to do this that is not overridden by the web gods? Or whatever?
Thanks

Yeah, I'm a dinosaur.
Learned HTML from Elizabeth Castro's first edition; then went to DW MX,
where I am stuck. Works for me, obviously with imperfections, as I am
hardly cutting edge multimedial gripping Web designer.
Thanks for observations.
I'll ask for help again: I really, truly, cannot find how to start a
thread on the forum, nor reply to one, and all that. I don't see any FAQ
tht elementary, nor anyone to e-mail for guidance. If you can offer a
little of that, I will be grateful.
Thanks,
Denno
It's a very dated website using extremely outdated code.
Â
There's a whole mix of HTML formatting and font tags in there which were
deprecated 10+ years ago.
Â
This all means that the website will behave in strange ways sometimes.
Â
Although it can be fixed, it would take hours to debug, explain and
implement the changes required, particularly if you've never used CSS
styling before.
Â
You're better off investing some cash in a modern, well coded, CSS
formatted template which will give you a sound foundation.
e.g. http://www.projectseven.com/products/templates/index.htm
Â
Then you can add your content and get good results quickly.

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 links sometimes don't change color, sometimes do, at the same sites.

I am using Firefox 4.0.1 under Win XP. Under Options/Content/Colors, the color of unvisited links are blue and visited links are purple. However, when I visit a link by clicking on it, the link temporarily changes color but after I visit the link and return to the original page, "'''''sometimes'''''" the link has reverted to its original blue (the unvisited color), and "'''''sometimes'''''" the color becomes the color it should be -- purple for a visited link. Using IE, the color always changes as it should.

Thanks for the input. I tried that, and it didn't work. It appears to work for everything else - just not download links.
Here's an example of my links:
<a href="http://cdn.setxvideo.com/001.MTS" target="new">001.MTS</a>
in my header is
<style type="text/css">
a:link {background-color:#B2FF99;} /* unvisited link */
a:visited {
background-color:#FFFF85;} /* visited link */
a:hover {background-color:#FF704D;} /* mouse over link */
a:active {background-color:#FF704D;} /* selected link */
</style>
Again, they work correctly in FireFox but not Safari.

How to revert back to the last version - I lost ALL most visited links and my Norton Safe master logon

Please, I am partially handicapped, and with the new version 4.0, I have lost ALL my Most Visited links and history, plus my Norton Safe master log on manager is also gone. (Typing in difficult for me)
Regretting this upgrade BIG time, I want to revert back to the last version but cannot find any instructions anywhere.
One blog entry I read said that the revert process (not explained how) made that person lose ALL their bookmarks.
There was NO warning that this 4.0 version would do any of this, and this is unacceptable, my favorite browser for a long time has me wondering now if I should go to Chrome!

Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload, Stop, & Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar. Only one function is ever active at any one time, so combining them save UI space was a good idea. When a page is loading, it is a "Stop" button, when it finished loading, it turns into a "Reload" button, and when you start to type something into the Location bar it turns into a "Go" button.
To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
* Open the "View > Toolbars > '''Customize'''" window or right-click a vacant area on a Toolbar, ''except fot the Bookmarks Toolbar''.
* Then drag'n'drop the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the Location bar.
# Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
# Set the order to "Stop - Reload" to separate them and get two distinct buttons.

From time to time when I click a searched link the colr of visited links does not change. It works fine after I delete history and cookies. Can I fix that. I am using windows XP. Thankste

From time to time when I click a searched link the color of visited links does not change. It works fine after I delete history and cookies. Can I fix that. I am using windows XP. Thanks

Here's the error message I get.
Note the TC is connected to my Airport Extreme via ethernet and my iMac is also connected to the AX via ethernet so it's not a wifi issue.
I can see the TC in the finder so it's not 'gone' from the network either.
Also note that just then the TM system pref pane was claiming a backup error, citing my 'network password' and still refusing to backup. I waited 5 minutes and did some tidying of my office while I pondered this and then tried again and voila it worked ok.

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.

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.

How do you add and remove links to websites in folders on Safari?

How do you add and remove links to websites in folders on Safari?

For clarification, works like a bookmark of website only it is listed in toolbar with "Most Visited", "Latest Headlines", "News", and "Popular". I have done it before but can't find it for the life of me.
Thanks!

Can I see the appearance of a visited link using BrowserLab?

I'm having a problem with my site. My image links are behaving as the should in every browser except in IE8 where they are showing an unwanted underline. As I'm on a Mac, it's a pain to have to reboot in Windows to check every time I make a change to the CSS (and I have tried so many things to get rid of the problem)... so BrowserLabs has been the answer to my prayers to check general development. However, I need to find out if I can see what visited links look like, as this is where my IE8 problem is. http://www.cornucopia-design.co.uk/tablettest/cornucopia_meaning.html . Thanks

Hi Lesley,
I'm sorry, but no, there isn't a way to do this currently. We would need to have that in our browser history to give that appearance, and each screenshot request can go to a new browser instance, so there is no simple way for us to do this.
