Visited Link Problems

Ok i have this site
www.fixyourteen.com
If you go from this site to my FAQ when the FAQ loads all my
links automatically show up as visited yet if you clear history and
refresh they show up normal. Problem is when you go back to the
main page and hit FAQ again the same thing happens.
If someone could look at my set up and help me figure out why
they are showing up as visited links i would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
PS if i need to provide the code i can.

If you want to see how they will look to a new visitor, you

delete the ton
of cookies your code is placing in your temporary internet
files folder.

You did not read my post. As i stated i have tried clearing
the history which will fix the problem temporarily. The problem is
if i hit BACK or MAIN PAGE and then RETURN to the FAQ they all show
up as visited regardless of the fact that i didn't actually click
on any of them.
I am suspecting that it might have something to do with the
fix i used for the Internet Explorer patch that makes you click on
a flash object to activate it.

Visited Link Problem, DM CS5

Visited Link Problem
When links on my web site are visited in Safari 5.0.5, a dark purple box is put around the link, making it impossible to see. This does not happen in Firefox 3.6.16 nor Opera. Web site is www.smallings.com
The link should be a light purple in all browsers.
Product: Dreamweaver CS5 version 11.0
System: Mac OS 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
I was told I must make a change somewhere to the script to let DM know that when it goes into Safari, the links are to look such and such. I am not a developer or programmer and cannot write script. Maybe a bit of HTML, not Java.
Can anybody help with this?

Problem clearing visited links

I am having a problem with clearing visited links in Win 7 / Firefox 11.o
I can clear visited links '''''except for one site''''':
Silicon Investor:
http://www.siliconinvestor.com/home.aspx
I go to:
* Tools
* Clear recent history
* Time Range to clear: Everything
* Clear Browsing and Download History
* Clear Cache
* Clear Active Logins
* Clear Offline Website Data
Again, the only site that will '''not''' clear is Silicon Investor.
Thanks for your help!
PS: On '''Silicon Investor''' site, the '''''History''''' clears, but the '''''Visited Links''''' do '''NOT''' clear.

Yes, I am reloading the page and nothing changes.
Also, several times I have reloaded the page and then shut down my PC and restarted. Nothing seems to clear the visited links.
I tend to think the problem may be at Silicon Investor - maybe some incompatibility with Firefox 11.0 ?
Thanks
PS: I have done some more experimenting and discovered the following:
1. If I am '''logged in''' to the Silicon Investor site I can clear history, but I am unable to clear the visited links.
2. If I am '''''NOT''''' logged into the Silicon Investor site I can clear history, '''''AND''''' clear the visited links with no problem at all.
So, I am thinking that there IS some incompatibility that occurs ONLY when logged in.
Strange!

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.

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

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.

Visited links behaving badly in IE8

I have tested my site in many browsers and the links all appear as they are supposed to in all browsers, Mac and PC, except IE8 (surprise, surprise!). Even IE7 is OK. In IE8 only, my visited image links are all showing the underline style border-bottom-style: dotted; I set for the text links, despite my having only set those on specific divs containing the text. I have tried all sorts of other things: img { border-style: none; }; and adding individual border-bottom-style: none; class style to the images. My css was becoming a mess so I took out all the link styles and started again. But still can't solve it (and my css has become a bit of a mess again, in an attempt to find a solution... so please don't shout at me!). It's probably something very obvious but I've been looking at this for weeks and I'm tearing my hair out. Can someone help please? Here is a link to a page in my test site which displays the problem in IE8. The 'portfolio' link at the top of the page and the snail image should not have an underline when visited (or at all). http://www.cornucopia-design.co.uk/tablettest/cornucopia_meaning.html .
I'm on a Mac so it's a pain to have to reboot into Windows every time I want to check whether something I have tried with the css works. I've started using BrowserLabs but can't find out how to display a visited link. I'm using DWCS5.5 .
Any help would be greatly appreciated before I have a nervous breakdown! Thanks

Thank you for your suggestion Jtanna. You too, Murray. I realise I hadn't actually tested the links in IE9, (only the pages in BrowserLabs) so hadn't thought that it might well be showing in that too (I thought IE9 was supposed to have been a great improvement on previous versions).
I tried what you both suggested. Still the problem persists. I first put these two styles (which I realise are doing a similar job) near the top of my cascade, and when it didn't work then thought maybe I'd try them last on the list. But still those pesky underlines appear on my images in IE8/9. The frustrating thing is that every time I try something, I have to reboot my Mac in Windows mode to see the effects which takes so long (and I'm not going to line Microsoft's pockets by buying a PC just so I can sort out faults with their software!).
As I said earlier, my text link styles are only applied to specific divs as I thought that would stop them being applied globally. I'm sure something must be clashing or in the wrong order but I'm just too inexperienced to work out what it might be. I have literally been puzzling over this for weeks (on and off) and it is driving me insane. Especially when I suspect there is a simple solution staring me in the face. So any further help would be really appreciated. I know my css is getting to be a bit of a mess in the main pages as this example http://www.cornucopia-design.co.uk/tablettest/cornucopia_meaning.html, for which I apologise but there is another much simpler page which might be easier to fathom which uses a different stylesheet: http://www.cornucopia-design.co.uk/tablettest/drawing_services.html.
Many thanks, in hope!

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 using Safari on my iPad 2 won't stay the "visited" color

Visited links using Safari on my iPad 2 won't stay the "visited" color after I close the tab, put the iPad in sleep mode (or whatever it's called), or when I power off the iPad.
There are certain sites I visit where it comes in very handy to be able to see which links I've already clicked on. The links will stay the "visited" color during the time I'm on the site, but later they all go back to the "unvisited" color.
Is there any way I can fix this on an iPad?

iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

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 in Google are not changing color. In Options Colors visited links are purple. Also, the "Allow pages to choose their own colors..." is checked

I have been using Firefox for many years. In the past year the Google page has stopped showing visited links in another color. Options are normal. Links should change to purple when visited.
This has been happening for a long time now. There have been several Firefox updates since then. Is it a problem with my system?

Does this happen with other visited links as well?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode

There are other things that need your attention.
Your system details list shows that you have two Flash plugins.
# Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700

You should remove the older Flash 11.6 r602.

Color of visited links

Hi,
we are using self created HTML Content WPC Webpages.
The problem is, that once you have clicked on the link the color of this link is exactly the same as the background color. We have changed no settings concerning the links or the background color.
Anyone knows where I can set the color of visited links?
I can not find the correct setting in the Theme editor.
Best,
Stephan

Hi,
thanks for the reply. I think the settings in the theme editor only work if the link I create has a certain css class. But my Links do not have any css class attribute.
I need to find, where I can globaly set the a:visited setting in the portal.
Best,
Stephan

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.

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!
Larry

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.
Larry

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 -

Visited links don't turn purple?

Hi, my visited links never turn purple. What's the problem? My Firefox is set to remember history, I don't see why it doesn't work. The only way to make it work is to uncheck "Allowed pages to use their colors instead of the ones selected above" but that makes every site look like crap. Other web browsers had this working, how can I make it work with Firefox without unchecking that option...?

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
