Internet link changes color ?

After hitting a link on the internet it it changes color, How do you get the link to go back to the original color?

You don't want to do that. It's the initial color before you click the link and another color to tell you you visited that link.
You can change them with the browser's preferences.
Update:
Sorry, in most browsers you have preferences to change the colors (Firefox preferences, content, colors) . Apparently in safari you don't unless you make a custom stylesheet.

Visited links change color.

Visited links change color (to something pretty similar to
the page background :(
Even though in the page properties all the states of links
(Color, Rollover, Visited, and Active) are set to the same color -
yellow.
It is an upper part of a frame-set, but when I open it in a
browser or in DW by it self (without a frame-set), it still does
the same changing to that uncolled color. I really don't know what
to do with it.
Please help.
Anna

The decision to use frames should be based on a) your site's
needs, and b)
your willingness to accept the potential problems that frames
can create for
you as developer and maintainer of the site and for your
visitors as casual
users of the site.
I am down on frames because I believe that they create many
more problems
than they solve.
Judging from the posts here, and the kinds of problems that
are described,
the kind of person most likely to elect to use frames is also
the kind of
person most likely ill-prepared fo solve the ensuing problems
when they
arise. If you feel a) that you understand the problems and b)
that you are
prepared to handle them when they occur, and c) that you have
a need to use
frames, then by all means use them.
As far as I know, the most comprehensive discussions of
frames and their
potential problems can be found on these two links -

All links change color when click 1

HI, I've tried searching for this as many ways as I can think
of - so forgive me if this has been covered before.
I've made a template file and have a series of links to
various pages (I'm in the VERY beginning stages here). On my pages
that have this template applied, the links go to where they are
supposed to go BUT when I click on 1, all the links change to the
"visited" color.
Also, the "hover over" color appears only after at least 1 of
the links has been clicked, not before, and no color changes occur
on the home page.
I know this is very elementary but we all have to start
somewhere!
My newbie site is at
http://pages.suddenlink.net/dancingleaf/
p.s. If you look at the site and you notice "Web Design", I
don't really do web designing (duh). I'm making all this up just to
learn!

The link to the stylesheet on the page is broken -
<link href="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Pam/My
Documents/My
Webs/css/dancingleaf.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
/>
That usually happens when you link to a file that is OUTSIDE
the root folder
for the site. Is this one?
The reason you get the visited color is here -

</style>
<style type="text/css">

</style></head>
That's what you told it to do - in fact, the link color and
the visited
color are the same.

Links change color when Email is Received

Hi, I have created an html email in Dreamweaver with "pink" links. The problem is after I email it I look at it in my sent email and ithe links are "blue" when they should be pink. So in other words the recipients get the HTML email with blue linkd instead of "pink" links.
I have checked in my mac "mail" in the settings to see if it is using a blue color for the links but I can't find anything relating to link colors.
Any ideas what I can do? Also is there somewhere in DW that gives me the option to change the link color?
Thanks

Thanks for the help Murray. I'm not sure why but....
This code doesn't seem to work in "Design" view
When I am using an email link and do as you suggest and move the </font> tag behind the word and look at the page in "Design" view in Dreamweaver the link is all black and is barely readable on a dark background.
<a href="mailto:myEmail?subject=To: Name" title="Home" target="blank"><font color="pink">myLink</font></a>
These codes both seem to work in "Design" view
But when I place the closing "font" tag after the </a> (see below) and preview the page in "Design" view in Dreamweaver the link is the Pink color as it should.
<a href="mailto:myEmail?subject=To: Name" title="Home" target="blank"><font color="pink">myLink</a></font>
This also works when previewing the page in "Design" view in Dreamweaver the link is the Pink color as it should.
<a href="mailto:myEmail?subject=To: Name" title="Home" target="blank"><font color="pink"></font>myLink</a>

Hi, My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this. Visited links are no longer changing color.

Hi,
My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this.
Suddenly the visited links are no longer changing font color, as I am preparing for an exam I need visited questions to change color, to keep track of questions that I have finished. But if I delete a few days of history then again,a few more visited links change color then again it stops, so it seems something is getting full and not able to accommodate any more? Why are my visited links no longer changing color after a certain number of visits? I do have a back up of the places.sqlite file. So I have tried everything from deleting the profile, uninstalling reinstalling, creating a new profile, then copy pasting places.sqlite etc, but as mentioned after a few visits, visited links no longer change color, if I delete a few days of history then again a few visits will again change color and then stop again, so what should I increase so that my visited links quota is increased, I have also tried tweaking about:config and it has had no result. Although I was not really confident that increasing brower.history_max _pages (don't remember exact name, but I am sure you get the idea) is going to help.
Seems as though my visited links change color, quota is full and only if I delete a few days of history will I get a few more visited links to change color. Can somebody shed some light? As mentioned my places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB so I think perhaps this has something to do with this? Would really appreciate if someone could help. Thank you.

There is no maximum for the places.sqlite database and other SQLite database files like I wrote above.<br />
All SQLite database file have fixed minimum sizes and if they run out of space they are automatically increased in size with a specific chunk size. For places.sqlite this is 10 MB for the minimum and for the chunk.

Visited links no longer change color?

my visited links in search have suddenly stopped changing color? how to get back to color after visiting?

I had this problem (or similar). Links changed color as I clicked them, but if I reload the page with all the links, they're all back to "unclicked". None of the above fixes helped.
Things started behaving properly after I disabled all add-ons (and removed ones that were outdated), then re-enabled them one at a time. I can't get the problem to reoccur, so I don't know exactly what add-on was causing it.

When I visit a link the color does not change, and if it does, it reverts to the unvistied color in a day.

When I visit a site the color of the link seldom changes to the color I have selected. also even when it does change, it reverts to the unvisited color in a day or so.

Hi.
That is happening (most likely) because Firefox is not storing your browsing history for long, or at all. Go into Tools > Options > Privacy and make sure the configurations are set as you want them to be. If they are, it's likely you have some security software that's erasing your Firefox's history (and possible other browsers' if you have them installed). The most likely suspects are antiviruses, firewalls and security suites, but clean-up utilities like CCleaner are also capable of cleaning Firefox's browsing history and other personal data. Make sure you don't have them configured to do so.
I should remind you, however, that some sites (they are rare, though) don't have their links change color when visited. That happens only when their authors deliberately make them not change the colors. You can force websites to use a color scheme of your choice by going into Tools > Options > Content > Colors... and unticking "Allow pages to choose their own colors". You can also configure the color scheme in that screen.
I hope this helps.

How can I make multi-colored links change their rollover or hover color?

I have made links with seperate colors using css, but the links with new colors have no hover property. I want these links to change color when the cursor hovers over them the same way the other links on my page do. I have tried making a new css rule for <hover> and tried writing the property into the css code but to no effect. I have searched the web and this forum for an answer and found notheing that works. Does anyone know how to give links with multiple colors a hover property that will make them change color? All of my other links change color as defined in the page properties, but the links with new color rules don't change color anymore. This is probably pretty basic. I'm new to DW, using CS6. If anyone can provide a step by step and show where the code should be inserted, this would be very helpful. Thank you in advance!

Some visited links don't change color

on some of my hyperlinks (that go to other pages in the same
file) don't change color after they've been visited... example:
they start out regular "hyperlink" blue... then after visiting they
should change (e.g., to purple) but they don't.
I read in the knowledge base that for popups, the color WON'T
change because of a javascript issue... however, the "non changing"
links are not always for pop ups... as stated above.
Any ideas?
Thanks...
kb

Thanks, Dimaxum...I've already read this thread, and every other thread about the subject on the internet. I am totally convinced this is a Safari issue because the links have always changed color for me using FireFox...always.
I'm sure there could be other situations where something else caused this problem and it was apparent on both browsers, but not in my case.
On my wife's Mac this is not a problem on Safari...it's something in my User folder causing it. For now I've just made FireFox the default browser and I'll keep searching. Or the next time I wipe my hard drive and rebuild everything (I do this every six months or so...old Windows habit that isn't necessary) I'm sure it will work fine then.
I was at the Apple store yesterday and tried several Macs there...they all worked fine. This is just somethiing on my machine.
Thanks for your help.

Visited links don't change color

Something I've done in the past 48 hours has caused Safari to not change color for visited links (this is still working fine on FireFox). I tried creating another user account and it works fine with that...just not with my account.
I've done all the typical things...repaired permissions, repaired disk, completely reset Safari to default and made sure all caches, etc. were cleaned out...both manually and with Onyx, reset associated .plist files.....nothing helps.
The only thing I've added to the machine is WebKit, but I tried uninstalling that as well, cleaning out all its associated files...but that didn't work. Returning to a Google search page still shows all links as blue.
Any ideas? I really don't want to do a complete reinstall...I just spend a week getting this new MacBook the way I want it and I have a lot of apps on it.
Thanks!

Link in form of a pictrue - change color when sweeping

Doing links in form of a word which change color when sweeping over them is simple in iWeb.
I wonder how I do if I not just want the color of the text but also an image to change.
Ex. I have a link in form of a bright cloud. When one sweep the mouse over it I want the cloud transform into a darker form of the same cloud.
Perhaps I need a codescript which connect two pictures of the cloud?

Johan:
It's called a rollover. There are a number of topics on the subject in this search result page: http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?threadID=&q=ROLLOVER&objID=&dateRange=l ast90days&userID=&numResults=30&rankBy=10001. It's done with an HTML Snippet. One of the topics may have an answer for you.

Change color of List link

Hi,
I'm trying to change the color of the links in one of my Lists. Can somebody please tell me how to do this? I'm not sure where to put it or what the syntax is.
Thanks,
Nora

Take a look at:
Change color of row links
Basically, create a class for your links and change the attributes using the :link,:visited,and :hover pseudo-classes. Even better, apply a class to the UL element, such as "myList" then add the following to your css:
ul.myList li a:link,ul.myList li a:visited{color:#00ff00;text-decoration:none;}
ul.myList li a:link,ul.myList li a:hover{color:#ff0000;text-decoration:underline;}
That way you don't have to repeat the 'class=".." ' for every link in your li, thus reducing the size of the page.
Thanks,
Tyler

Visited iPad 3 search links don't change color in Safari

The iPad 3 (iOS 5.1) Safari search links returned from a Yahoo or a Google search don't change color after visiting them like they do on the iMac. Is this a known behavior?

Choose Settings > General > Reset, then tap Reset All Settings.

Visited links on safari do not change color

Hi, I use safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) and when i browse the search results on google, the color of visited links does not change (it should turn form blue to purple). This does not happen when i use other browsers. I have already tried to reset and empty cache.. ANy suggestions?? this is very annoying

I don't know if they're not changing color for you, but for me the purple (visited link) looks too similar to the link (blue) for my bad corneas to distinguish unless I squint.
I found the link below helped, and it works!
How do I change color of links visited?

Internet link changes color ?
