Visited links purple! HELP

My visited links turn purple even though I specified them differently and STAY purple even though I threw out my cache, cookies and restarted my browser. I don't want them purple at all! Why is this happening? It is very annoying.

I have never had this problem before and I've been doing websites for like 10 years. I'm the first to admit I'm not a coding genius, but this problem is new to me. I don't like the visited states to change. I think it's messy. I shouldn't have to change the color of my visited state for the rollover to work. The link color is specified as gray. It should be gray. Am I not getting something?
Then dont use a:visited or a:active - I never use them because they just confuse people in my opinion.
Just use the combination below:
.linkrollovers a:link {
color: #CCC;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
.linkrollovers a:hover {
color: #FFF;

  • How long do visited links stay purple?

    When I directly click on or open a blue underlined link in a new window (or tab), the link I used to open the new window or tab turns purple, indicating that it has recently been visited. I know that at some point in time, the visited link (purple), turns back to the normal color of light blue. A few years ago, I remember finding an option (I think it was Firefox but I'm not certain) to set the length of time a visited link remained purple. Does anyone know if this is a feature that be changed?

    You can look at these prefs on the about:config page to make sure that you keep history.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days (180) (also affects saved form data)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days_min (90)
    See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aconfig
    * Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the Browsing History.
    * Make sure that you do not run 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"

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Changing Safari Font Color for Visited Links

    Is there a utility or some other way to change the color of visited links in Safari? The current blue/purple colors are very difficult to distinguish and I would like a more dramatic color change for visited links. Thank you for any help.

  • 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?

  • Visited Links Color

    Is there any way to prevent visited links from changing into a different color rather than returning to the original link color? (I know how to do this in HTML, but I can't find any way to do it in iWeb.)

  • Visited Link - Refresh Issue?

    Here's the scenario:
    The CSS link styles are designed to show a: link {blue} and
    a: visited {purple}.
    A user clicks a hyperlink from the home page. Upon clicking
    the IE Back button, the link displays the appropriate visited
    purple color on the home page.
    All is well at this point.
    However, with the home page displaying the aforementioned
    visited link in purple, when the user clicks anywhere on the home
    page, the visited link returns to its original blue.
    This is just one click. You could click in some white space
    on the home page, and the visited link "refreshes" to its original
    state.
    I have seen this issue with my HTML / CSS projects as well as
    many other instances on the Web.
    My goal is to have the visited link stay purple much like
    what occurs when using Google to surf the Net all day long.
    Please help as I have researched this issue now for two days
    on the Net and cannot find the appropriate answer and
    solution.

    Post a link to the page, please.
    By the way, it's a:link, not a: link (no space).

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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 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 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?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

    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.
