Visited Links - Override all link colors

Hi,
I'm using RH8 in WebHelp and IE. I read all the former postings regarding people having the same problem and some mentioned a fix in a .css but the .css wasn't available with the posting of March 25, 2008.
My visited link color seems to override all other link colors. Originally I had the link colors in a style sheet and changed the colors in the .css. That didn't work and all colors still were the visited link color. I deleted the link colors from this .css and added the link colors via the RoboHelp Edit Styles. Either way doesn't seem to work and all link colors are my visited color. I've tried clearing my cache several times and this doesn't work, neither does deleting the history.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks very much for any help you can provide.

Hi Leon,
Here is all the code with "a" type styles in the .css. Again, I also have the links also in the mini-TOC but didn't see a way via the Format Placeholder to change
this. Currently, most of my links are showing up as the "visited" color -- grey. I'm going to revisit this link issue again very soon but have to get a ton of content in now. I really appreciate your efforts.
Thanks,
Sue

Update Link, Update All Links, SHORTCUT?

Found a great way to work live, on the iPad, from the computer.
BUT, Adobe being Adobe, it's not perfect.
If I click to "Edit Original" and then edit, and save, I must switch back to InDesign before it actually does the update.
That's problem 1. I'd really rather not have to make that switch back. Any way around that?
Second, haivng switched back to InDesign to get that "live" update, if I [Command + Tab] back to the editing app, the "live" updating link is lost, so the next change I make I must go back to InDesign and use the TINY little button at the top of the screen to find the Update Link choice.
I'd much rather a Keyboard Shortcut for Update All Links, rather than having to deal with this.
Better yet, constant live updates would be epic. Anyways to do this?

Argh, there's part one of your problem. I don't want it... I was looking for it, assuming it would be already assigned, and not wanting to try to find how to assign one of my own if it already existed. This was made harder, ironically, by the fact it was already assigned, so there was no hint to the shortcut when seeing the Update options.
Rob Day wrote:
You want everything to automatically get updated, I don't—
There's part two of your problem. I don't want that for everyone, always, I just want it as a possible state, and to turn it on.
Rob Day wrote:

And there's part 3. I don't want to remove their modified state. I just want for an "auto-update".
Now, where's that scrpting reference? Does scripting have access to things like auto-update of Links? I'm guessing not, since there would be some possible security problems exposed by such a thing being able to be implemented by parties outside Adobe.

Why all links automatically go into reading list

recently , as I use safari and click links ,then all links automatically go into the reading list.
I have to click "open in other tab", then i can see the page.
how can i solve this problem?

I placed my file from my laptop over my current photo file to transfer it...probably the problem.
Yes. Doing that you imported the original, modified, thumbnail and faces image files into your other library. That's not the way to do it.
If yo have a backup copy of the library on your EHD get it and replace the "combined" one and name it something other than iPhoto Library. Then just drag the library from the laptop to the EHD.
You won't be able to merger then and keep metadata, faces, places or keywords until iPhoto Library Manager is updated to be compatible with iPhoto 11. That might be sometime next week hopefully.
If you don't care about the keywords, places, etc you can use iPhotoSync
iPhotoSync to just copy the photos in your laptop library into the EHD library.
This is how it would be done:
1 - open your laptop library.
2 - using Fast User Switching go to a second user account and use iPhoto to open the library on the EHD.
3 - now you can use iPS to move the photos from the laptop library into the EHD library. iPhoto will ask you if you want to exclude duplicates so select yes for all dups.
Remember this method will NOT include keywords, places, etc. an may create multiple Events or just one large Event with all the photos. I'm not sure which.

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 won't change color

When I click on a page link or spry menu link, the link
colors work for hover and active, but not for visited.
Here's my site:

No it wouldn't. It would mean any text inside a
class='Accordian' would be
blue, as would all links on the page. Surely you meant -
.Accordian a { color:blue; }

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!

Visited Google Links No Longer Change Color

On my preferred browser Safari 4.1.3, visited Google links no longer change color from blue to violet. Any fix other than upgrading OS and Safari browser?

Hmmm, still works in Safari 4.0.4 here.
I think I'd clear the caches, with one of the many apps that do so, I prefer Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

Visited Links Do Not Change Color

My visited links do not change color.

* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the ''Browsing History''.
* Make sure that the History is set to at least 1 day: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember visited pages for at least"
* Make sure that you do not start Firefox in Private Browsing mode (Tools > Stop Private Browsing is grayed, see [[Private Browsing]])
* To see History and Cookie settings in Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history"
You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days (180) (also affects saved form data)
http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days_min (90)
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Visited download links don't change color (but do in FireFox)

I have a mass amount of files to download listed on a Web page. When I click the link, the file downloads, but the link on my downloads page never changes colors to note that the link has been visited.
Is this a bug and is there a work around for my HTML page? Currently I'm using javascript to change link colors.

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.

Display all links on rollover?

I want to create a div with links to various places within my site. I want the color of the links to blend into the background (red), and I understand how to do that.
#div name a:hover {
color: #000
But when I do this, each link only shows up one at a time when hovered over. How do I set it up so when a user hovers over the container, all the links show up in the color?

CSS a:hover won't work in IE except when applied to Anchor tags.
CSS Anchor (link) styles
a:link { }
a:visited { }
a:hover { }
a:active,
a:focus { }
HTML anchors:
<a href="some-link.html">Link text</a>
<a href="some-link.html">Link text</a>
<a href="some-link.html">Link text</a>

Also, you can't use spaces or leading numbers in selector names.
Invalid name:
#div name
#1div
.1

How can i get all links from html file ?

I tried some code:
List<string> metas = new List<string>();
string text = "";
string mys = "";
public List<string> LockedThreads(string filename)
HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
doc.Load(filename, Encoding.UTF8);
var metaTags = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//meta");
if (metaTags != null)
foreach (var tag in metaTags)
if (tag.Attributes["name"] != null && tag.Attributes["content"] != null)
text = tag.Attributes["name"].Value;
mys = tag.Attributes["content"].Value;
var linksOnPage = from lnks in doc.DocumentNode.Descendants()
where lnks.Name == "a" &&
lnks.Attributes["href"] != null &&
lnks.InnerText.Trim().Length > 0
select new
Url = lnks.Attributes["href"].Value,
Text = lnks.InnerText
foreach (HtmlNode node in doc.DocumentNode
.SelectNodes("//a/@href | //img/@src"))
metas.Add(node.Name);
In the var linksOnPage i'm getting all the links but some of them not only links for example the first item i see:
[0] = { Url = "/", Text = "    " }
Then the second item:
[1] = { Url = "http://rotter.net/cgi-bin/forum/dcboard.cgi?az=login", Text = "התחבר" }
Next i want to add another loop or variable that will contain only the links after im src for example:
<img
src="http://mysite.com"
border="0"></a></TD><TD
ALIGN="right"
VALIGN="TOP"
WIDTH="55%">
So to get only http://mysite.com
So in the end i will have two Lists:
First List will contain all links from the html file.
Second List only links that are in img src

Ok i'm using regex now and i can get the links i need:
List<string> metas = new List<string>();
List<string> metas1 = new List<string>();
string text = "";
string mys = "";
public List<string> LockedThreads(string filename)
string[] fall = File.ReadAllLines(filename);
foreach (string hh in fall)
if (hh.Contains("http://rotter.net") && hh.Contains("locked")||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_general") ||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_anchor") ||
hh.Contains("icon_anchor") ||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_fire") ||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_sport")||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_camera")||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_movie"))
Regex linkParser = new Regex(@"\b(?:https?://|www\.)\S+\b", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
foreach (Match m in linkParser.Matches(hh))
metas.Add(m.Value);
So now in the metas i have in this case two links.
For example the first link is from this block in the file:
The link i got is : http://rotter.net/forum/Images/hot_icon_anchor.gif
And this is the right link from this block but now how do i get the text from this block and how i connect how do i know that this text belong to the link ? I need to add this text from this block to a new List. Before all that i counted on my own lines
and got the text but that's a bad idea.
I need somehow to get: שרשור תשדירי בחירות מרוכז:
To get the text between the ToolTip',' and the second ',' but not from all the html file only in places of this two links i extracted.
<TD ALIGN="RIGHT"
VALIGN="TOP">
<body onmousemove="overhere()">

How stop FF31 from opening new window? I want to open all links in new tab at top of page.

I think the following, quote below, from the help page is my problem.
I have this one website I use that when I click on a link within the website it is opening a new window with the tab at the bottom. Also, when this happens, I am losing the orange FireFox rectangle, bookmarks and navigation options. How can I set FF31 so that the link opens in a new tab and I keep all my options? I am using Classic Theme Restorer 1.2.3. I also notice that in the new window I lose the ability to use some of the addons.
I have two laptops and both are running FF31 and W7. One of them is working perfectly and the other is having this problem. As far as I can tell they are both set up the same. The only difference is that when I upgraded to FF31 they both had difference older versions of FireFox. I also read in the help forum that maybe I need to go back to FireFox 28 to accomplish what I am trying to accomplish.
I noticed that when I go under about:config that the version of FF that is not working has fewer available options versus the version that is working. An example would be that the working version has "browser.tabs.onTop" where on the other laptop this is missing.
>>>Open new windows in a new tab instead: This option controls whether links from other applications or from web pages which request to open them in new windows are opened in a new window or a new tab in the most recent window.
Note: If you have chosen to open pages in new tabs, Firefox will ignore this option and will open a new window from a link if the page author specified that the new window should have a specific size, because some pages can only be displayed correctly at a specific size.<<<
Thank you in advance for any help,
yeto

You can override how links are opened via the browser.link.open_newwindow.override pref.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
*1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
Use this for links opened via JavaScript.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction
See also:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Prevent_websites_from_disabling_new_window_features

I would like all links to open in the active tab, unless I command-click on the link.

I've searched for answers to this question, and I was able to adjust the values for preferences in about:config so that all links open in the active tab, but after doing so I am unable to command-click to open a link in a new tab. Is there any way to change certain preferences so that command-clicking will override the browser.link.open_newwindow preferences? Or maybe there's some other way around this?
This might seem like an odd request, but several sites I use (Tumblr especially) open nearly all links in a new tab by default, and it quickly gets out of hand. A "same-tab unless command-click" configuration would allow me to control where every link opens. Also, I would still like all links from external applications to load in a new tab.
I'm using Firefox 32.0 on Mac OS X 10.9.4.
Thanks

Your request sounds similar to this old thread, except that you want a different setting for the third preference: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/985943 How do I get when I click on a link it will not open in new tab? I want to open in the same tab where I clicked on that click.]
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste link.o and pause while the list is filtered.
(3) Double click these to modify the values as desired:
(A) browser.link.open_newwindow
3 = divert new window to a new tab (default) (checked*)
2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*)
'''1 = force new window into same tab'''
* First checkbox in Options > Tabs
(B) browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction - for links in Firefox tabs
'''0 = apply the setting under (A) to ALL new windows (even script windows)'''
2 = apply the setting under (A) to normal windows, but NOT to script windows with features (default)
1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows
(C) browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external - for links in other programs
-1 = apply the setting under (A) to external links (default)
'''3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window'''
2 = open external links in a new window
1 = open external links in the last active tab replacing the current page
Does that combination work?

Bookmarks going haywire. multiplying over and over again and also all links have turned into one single links copied into all folders

Sir, all my bookmarks are multiplying over and over again . Although i have been able to restore them to the previous date but all links are now converted to same link website . Not only that it is being synced across all my devices . Please sir kindly help me resolve it. The only links that are correcclty displayed are "most visited " ones.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Links, selecting ALL in document to set to underline??

Working with a large pdf 950 pages, and trying to set all hyperlinks to underline and I select link and then edit/select all, it only selects on 1 page???

Phillip,
With all due respect the OP's question and the resolution has nothing to do with Acrobat JavaScript.
@ debor19071
Aside from the suggested page view you may want to also use a reduced page magnification. Be sure Acrobat's Link tool is selected.
Using the Link tool select the first "link box" (the representation of the link annotation). Now, select all (Ctrl+A or Command+A).
If you've the PDF open with Acrobat, a page view of single page continuous and a zoom of 25% you will observe all the links on the 3 or 4 pages presented on the screen are highlighted (selected). Scroll down through the PDF. All link annotations will display as selected.
Now, the first link annotation is still "selected" eh. So, right click for the context menu. Click on "Properties".
The Link Properties dialog presents itself. The Appearance tab is displayed by default (good as that is what you want).
For "Link Type" select "Visible Rectangle".
For "Line Style" select "Underline".
For "Color" select the color desired.
For "Line Thickness" select as desired (Thin, Medium, Thick).
Click OK.
All link annotations will now reflect what you configured.
Be well...
