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It's a very dated website using extremely outdated code.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.

Visited links stopped changing color suddenly

visited links stopped changing color suddenly

Well, I'm a mixed bag. After wasting time and missing the point earlier, thinking that this was about the Google app, today I finally suss to the fact that the discussion's a tually about in fhe browser ...
Anyway, I take a look and, sure enough, the first one I try does pop into a violet color when returning to the results page. I thought it distinct enough to easily notice, and couldn't remember seeing it before (use the app most of the time).
Unfortunately, that was rthe one and only time I saw that happen over the next ten minutes of running searches on multiple topics. All subsequent cycles showed the exacrt same shade of blue on return, and this includes tests run in the middle of and following such steps as clearing the app (cache, cookies history), force quitting the app, and restarting the iPad.
Nothing made any difference. That first time was the one and only time, so far, that I saw the color change.
Also tried a Reset. No change. I guess if it's really supposed to work then a Restore might do it but .... I think not.

How do I keep the visited hyperlinks from changing color?

I am looking to keep the colors of visited sites, the same as unvisited chosen by the hosting site. For example; when I visit eBay, their hyperlink colors are different depending on location. They are black in the far left, and do not change color when visited. However, the hyperlinks in the center are blue, then change to purple after they are visited. I would like for the hosting site to use their own colors, but not differentiate from the unvisited links to the visited ones.
I know I can change the color of the visited links to be the same as the non-visited links(FF>Options>Content>Colors>"change"Link Colors), but this is not what I am trying to achieve. When I do that, ALL links are my chosen color, even the links on the far left on the eBay page. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi raven0, I'm not seeing this issue on Craigslist, although we're probably in different cities.
Does this occur on other sites as well, such as search engine results? If so, it could indicate that Firefox isn't saving history for those page loads. You could check the Library dialog and see whether the individual pages are listed. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+h
* History > Show All History
If there's no history for those page loads, is it possible that the pages are being opened in private windows, or that history has become disabled in some other way?

Visited links not changing color on iPad Safari or other browsers

Hi,
On my iPad, when I visite a site via an hyperlink and then go back to the initial page, the color of that link is not changing anymore like it is on my MacBook. For example, in Google search, the visited links don't turn violet and remains blue instead. This is the case in Google search, Yahoo but not with Bing. The problem occurs on all my iPad web browsers (Safari, Atomic Web...).
Is it a bug or a config thing that I can fix myself ? Anybody have any idea or did find a solution to this same problem ?
Thank you,
Daniel

Safari visited links not changing color

My safari links aren't getting "marked" as visited in Safari on my new ipad air. So far, this experience with ios7 has been lackluster.

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 I stop GoLive from changing the location of my CSScriptLib.js file?

How do I stop GoLive from changing the location of my CSScriptLib.js file?
I am making rollovers and want my CSScriptLib.js to be in the same folder as my HTML files.
Every time I edit the rollovers GoLIve recreates the path of the CSScriptLib.js to file:///Users/xxx/Library/Preferences/Adobe/GoLive/Settings8/JScripts/GlobalScripts/CSScr iptLib.js so it won't work when uploaded. I always need to edit my HTML before uploading. All I want it to say is src="CSScriptLib.js" as the default.

The site file is a database that keeps track of all your assets (and much more), including the scriptLib file. As soon as the page is saved (when you use the site file and it's open) the link will be change to the correct path that will work on the server.
If you're not using the site file you might as well use a text editor, since most of GL functionality is gone.

How to email a "link" from Safari?

Since upgrading to Lion I can't figure out how to send a "link" from a Safari page in Apple's Mail. Example: I am surfing "MacSurfer" and I click on a link to read it. I then decide to email the link to my daughter. I used to be able to open Mail and drag the URL into the body of the email. Now, in Lion, the URL of the link just says "Go To This Address". I can't seem to have both apps (Safari and Mail) open at the same time on my desktop. And what's up with the "Go To This Address" thing in the URL so often?
I have both Mail and Safari each set up as "Full Screen" so they will be permanently stuck on a desktop in Mission Control. Could this have something to do with it?
I'm also running into another issue in Safari. If I click on a link and a new page opens many times there are no "traffic lights" (red, yellow, green in upper left of page) and the "Back" arrow is greyed out. Also, the contextual menu does not offer to go back. The only way to close the page is to quit, which causes me to close Safari all together.
What am I missing?
And while I'm on my ***** fest here…I'm not thrilled with this new discussion board either. It wasn't broke, so why "fix" it? (Maybe I'm just getting old and don't adapt to change so well.) OK, I feel better now!

Can someone help?
In Safari File: Mail:Link o This Page has stopped working on my macbook pro running Lion-- all of a sudden I am seeing this error message when I want mail a website link to someone:
An email message can’t be created to send the link because Safari can’t find an email application.
This message does not show when I click on a hyperlink within the body of a webpage viewed in Safari.
This does not happen in Firefox. The File: Mail Link works just fine. Maybe I should stop using Safari but I like it!!!
I checked all of the system preferences suggested in various support documents. Did I miss something?

How to restore visited link state to unvisited

Hi all -
I have a pseudoclass which nicely shows a gray background
after being
visited.
After clicking in ie6 browser, the links remain gray forever!
I am unable to view in the pre-visited state to show a client
sitting next
to me.
I am viewing on my local machine
There are no cookies being set
Flushing cache doesn't do it
Closing browser doesn't do it
Even rebooting the machine doesn't do it
I guess my question is, "where is my WinXP machine
remembering the visited
state?"
Anybody know this one? Many thanks
CSS follows
a.inactive
{border: 1px solid #000000;color: #000000;text-decoration:
none;padding: 4px
7px
a.inactive:visited
{border-color: #000000; text-decoration: none;background:
#CCCCCC; color:
#000
a.inactive:hover
{border-color: #000000; text-decoration: none;background:
#B30000; color:
#fff

How do I prevent Pages from changing earlier parts of a document when I am in an 8 page newsletter. Going back to check something and items are jumbled up!

How can I stop Pages from changing parts of a document when I am progressing through an 8 page newsletter. When I go back to check something some headings have moved and been put out of context. I can't lock the individual pages of the document to prevent this happening.

The Amazon iWork '09 is a DVD in a boxed set.
Downloading is transferring something from the Internet.
I think you are talking about not having a DVD drive?
To install the DVD version, either get an external USB DVD drive, they are cheap on eBAy or borrow another computer and drag the iWork Installer onto a USB Flash Drive and install from that.

How to stop the users from changing User Profile

Hai,
It is not possible to restrict SU3 to display, because it has only S_TCODE has the authorization object.
If you really want to restrict users from changing their profile you have to remove the SU3 access and give SU1 or SU2 which gives access only to Personnel details and Parameters.
Hope this helps.
