CSS - Not Changing Color Of Visited Links
Is there a way to tell the browser not to change the color of a visited link? I have an anchor around some text, but I don't know the color setting of the text. When I visit the link, I just want the text to retain its color based on the other CSS declarations in effect for the text.
So, is there a way to specify a:visited { color: do-not-change; }? Similar TutorialsI have been having a problem with my CSS. I want to make my visited links just a big bigger than my unvisited links so that the users can know where they been Code: #mainCategories a:link{ font-size:.55em; } #mainCategories a:visited{ font-size:.65em; } #mainCategories a:hover{ font-size:.65em; } #mainCategories a:active{ font-size:.65em; } it changes size on a:hover but not on a:visited Hi, I'm looking for some help with CSS, specifically "a:visitied". I want the hover over behaviour to remain the same on html links regardless of whether or not they're already in your history. Is there a way i can do this? Many Thanks. Good day, I am a newbie, both to CSS and to these forums. I recently undertook a job to update a website for a charity and am dealing with the previous webmasters coding, both html and css. I am trying to modernize the site a bit, it is very 1997. I am running into a bit of trouble with the hover class on one of my pages. When a link has been visited, it no longer changes color and highlights on hover. I read on multiple forums, this one included that it is because you must define hover last, after visited, active, etc. I did this, but still does not work. I am using Firefox 2. Here is the code I am working with, sorry that is is a bit lengthy, I don't know what parts are important or not because when I just change the hover, link, visted part it doesn't work. The page I am working with is at beverlyfoundation . org / library / index . html /* THE BASICS */ body { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #eaf5ff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: #c2d8ec; } p { margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; } img { border: none; } a:link, a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #EAF5FF; } a:active, a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #E51322; } /* HEADERS */ h1, h2, h3 { font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 14px; } h1 { font-size: 220%; text-align: right; font-style: italic; } h2 { font-size: 140%; } ul { list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: square; } /* TOP COLORED LINKS */ .navcells { text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; padding: 2px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 11px; } #navlinks a:link, a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #EAF5FF; } #navlinks a:hover, a:active { text-decoration: underline; color: #EAF5FF; } /* LAYOUT */ #header { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-attachment: fixed; background-image: url(../images/header_gradient01_bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-position: left top; } #content { padding: 10px 20px 10px 10px; background-color: #0060BE; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; font-size: 12px; } #rightcolumn { background-color: #0060BE; padding: 10px; width: 220px; font-size: 11px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: #EAF5FF; border-right-color: #EAF5FF; border-bottom-color: #EAF5FF; border-left-color: #EAF5FF; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; } #splashrightcolumn { background-color: #0060BE; padding: 10px; width: 220px; font-size: 11px; } #rightcolumn img { margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; } #rightcolumn p { margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; } #rightcolumn h1 { font-size: 180%; text-align: center; font-style: italic; } #rightcolumn h2 { margin-top: 21px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; } #rightcolumn a:link, a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #EAF5FF; } #rightcolumn a:hover, a:active { text-decoration: underline; color: #EAF5FF; } #threecolumn { padding: 10px; width: 220px; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; font-size: 12px; } #threecolumn a:link, a:visited { color: #EAF5FF; text-decoration: none; } #threecolumn a:hover, a:active { color: #EAF5FF; text-decoration: underline; } #footer { color: #EAF5FF; padding: 10px; font-size: 11px; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; line-height: 14px; } #footer a { color: #EAF5FF; text-decoration: none; } #address { color: #EAF5FF; padding: 10px; font-size: 11px; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-color: #EAF5FF; border-right-color: #EAF5FF; border-bottom-color: #EAF5FF; border-left-color: #EAF5FF; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; } #address a { color: #EAF5FF; text-decoration: underline; } #address h2 { margin: 0px; } .threecolumns { color: #EAF5FF; padding: 10px; font-size: 11px; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; } .resourcestore p { margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 0px; } .gradientrow { background-image: url(../images/footer_bg01.jpg); } .copyright { font-size: 10px; } .resourcestore { padding: 10px; } That title is probably a little confusing but it is what's happening. I have an inline list (<li>) that will shift to the right when I hover over links that have been visited. The links that have never been visited do not cause this problem. It's very strange and I'm not sure what's up. The page... http://www.vaska.com/a/ The css... http://www.vaska.com/a/css/c.css To get the menu to appear, hover over the "menu/options" and it will appear. I know for a fact that these issues are not becaused by the javascript in this file...somehow it's a CSS issue. I'm having the problem in Safari and Firefox...I'm not sure about IE/PC and such, but I'm betting the problem is there as well. Thanks for any help...v hi, iam having a div tag in that div i have table.. <div style="width:658;height:265px; overflow:auto;" > <table> </table> </div> now i need to change the color of scroll bar of this div tag. i tried with this the css .myScrollBar { scrollbar-face-color: #FF0000; scrollbar-shadow-color: #0000FF; scrollbar-highlight-color: #00FF00; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #FF00FF; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #00FFFF; scrollbar-track-color: #FFFF00; scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;} <div style="width:658;height:265px; overflow:auto;" id='myScrollBar'> but its not working.. Regards, Greetings I hope the title wasn't too confusing. If not this is sure to be. What I have is and Unordered List that has a heading in each List Item and then a few items under that. The List Items are links arranged in a grid that have a hover effect on mouseover. Due to the colors I want the heading (in this case h2) in each li to change color on the a:hover (the hover over anywhere on each li, not just over the h2 text). How can I achieve this? Here is some code to (hopefully) clarify: Code: #lower { width: 765px; float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 10px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 20px; padding-left: 0px; } #lower ul { width: 775px; list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0px; } #lower ul li { font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14px; width: 250px; float: left; } #lower ul li a { text-decoration: none; display: block; height: 125px; color: #262626; } #lower ul li a:hover { background-color: #5B8C3E; color: #D9D9D9; } #lower h2 { font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; color: #262626; } #lower a h2:hover { color: #D9CE3F; } As is the h2 only changes when it is directly hovered, not the the li. Thanks in advance for your help. Ok I simply cannot figure this one out. All I'm trying to do is change the font color so that the text like "Choose a Username" is not black but white. Here is the link to the page http://www.technicalhypnotherapy.com/wordpress/?page_id=128 This is my CSS. I think the more relevant tags are the last ones.

But my problem is that on mouseover my background color changes to what I want, but the font-color is not changing. Here is a snippet of my code: Code: <tr class="clickableTROpt1" onmouseover="this.className='cellover'" onmouseout="this.className='clickableTROpt1'" onClick='location.href="searchResults.php?id=2"'> <td><a href="#">Some data cells</a></td> </tr> my css file looks like this: Code: .clickableTROpt1{ font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; background-color: #FFFFFF; } .cellover{ color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #CCCCCC; font-weight: bold; } it looks like my css needs to be told to apply the changes to <a> tags as well? How can I use CSS to specify the color I want for the image borders on the page? Hi, How to change the background color of textbox in css, so that negative numbers can be shown in red color I have multiple textbox in my asp page, which gets values from database. So there is a negative value shown, I want to highlight that in red color. How to achieve this? Thank you hi all ! I want to know how I can change the text size and color for a button created inside my page (only for the button the rest should remain the same). The data and button are created in PHP so it looks something like: Code: <div class="column3"> <div class="padding"> <?php if( $this->countModules('right') ): ?> <jdoc:include type="modules" name="right" style="xhtml" /> <?php endif; ?> </div> And css for that part of the page is: Code: #index .box .column3 {width:252px;} hey, i have a question regarding css on my website: http://poolghost.com/ my css file is located at http://poolghost.com/base.css basically what i am trying to accomplish is having a:hover's color change to a different color on the right side of the layout. and i would like links on the right side to be underlined. please advise.. thanks, --avery Okay, so I'm having a little bit of a problem with setting the background color through an onClick event on an option tag. Here is what I mean. Code: <div id = "move"> <form name = form2> <span style="float:left;"> <select name= theDay size=1> <option value=0 selected>Default [themes] <option value=1>White</option> <option value=2 onClick = "red()">Light Blue</option> <option value=3>Aqua <option value=4 value = "document.body.style.backgroundColor= '#98AFC7';">Lighter Blue</option> <option value=5 onClick = "document.body.style.backgroundColor= 'white';">Saturday</option> <option value=6 onClick = "document.body.style.backgroundColor= 'white';">Sunday</option> </select> When I click one of the options, nothing changes, although I set the body.style.backgroundColor to register to a different color when the option tag is clicked. Any ideas? I've changed how links are rendered - problem is that I can't stop same thing being done on images as links. Code: a { text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 1px dotted; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 1px solid; } And it works great on ordinary links (<a href="#">Text here</a>) but I cant turn it off when I have an image as a link (<a href="#"><img ... /></a>). I tried this : Code: a img { border: none; /* tried border: 0px; also */ } img { border: none; /* tried border: 0px; also */ } And it doesn't work The only way I could achive the result is to specify an class for each link: Code: .img-link { border: none; } .img-link:hover { border: none; } // in HTML <a href="#" ... class="img-link"><img ... /></a> Hi, Please see http://lbclibrary.org/addtoinquiry.php (scroll down a bit to see the form) What I want to do is, when the user selects "I am a member of ..." or "I want to become a member of..." the form fields in the OTHER cell should become readonly (i.e. should not allow input). Is it possible to make ALL the form elements in one <td> cell as readonly? Further, is it possible to change their background colors to say light grey? Then, when you select another radio option, that cell becomes writable and the other cell becomes readonly. Thanks a lot! When you go near a link the cursor flickers and then goes back to default, cant get it to show normally for any link. Works on my windows PC but not on my Mac Even tried a{ cursor:pointer; } but the same thing happens... http://pd-scammell.co.uk/site/ Any ideas? Thanks. Does anyone know if/how I can get a CSS script for link classes that would only change the colour of the underline like the one at the top of Altavista's translate page?? I have tried viewing the source but can't seem to put my finger on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheerz, sheermonkey. Hi, I have a simple table <table id="sometable"> <tr> <td> <a href="link1">link1</a> <td> <a href="link2">link2</a> </table> with a style sheet table#sometable {width: 100%;} table#sometable a:hover{background-color: #A9A9A9;} What I want is on a hover the whole cell changes color, not just the link. How can I do this? Also should I be using a table in the first place? Thanks Colin Hi Guys! Most of the links in my document are set to #ffffff, because they have a dark background. I have 'content' section that I want to show blue links. I tried adding the following code into my style sheet: PHP Code: a.content:link { color: #0000FF; text-decoration: underline; } a.content:visited { color: #0000FF; text-decoration: underline; } a.content:hover { background-color: #6666FF; text-decoration: underline; } And nothing!? (apart from the layout crapped up!!!!) Could someone point me in a better direction? Full CSS below! Thanks Charlie PHP Code: html {height:100%;} body { margin:0; padding:0; height:100%; background-image:url(images/newback.jpg); background-position:top right; background-repeat:repeat-y; background-color:#ffffff; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: .7em; } #wrap { background-image:url(images/newback150px.jpg); background-position:top left; background-repeat:repeat-y; min-height:100%; } * html #wrap {height:100%} div#navbar {padding: 0%; text-align: center; background-image:url(images/newback.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; background-color: #000044; color: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0px; border-bottom: solid #000000 1px} div#formbox { color: #000000; padding: 2%; border: #000044 solid 1px; } div#userbar {padding: 0%; text-align: center; background-image:url(images/newback.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; background-color: #000044; color: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0px; border-bottom: solid #000000 1px} #header { background-color: #000044; background-image:url(images/wel.jpg); width 100%; background-repeat: repeat; border-bottom: 2px #000000 solid; color: #ffffff; margin:0; padding:0; height:100px; } } #left { float:left; width:149px; background-image:url(images/newback.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; color: #ffffff; text-align:center; background-color: #000044; border-right: 1px #000000 solid; } #main { position:relative; margin-left:200px; } #content { text-align:center; padding:4px; margin-right:200px; margin-bottom:150px; text-align:left; } #clearfooter { clear:both; height:80px; overflow:hidden; } #footer { height:40px; background-color: #000044; border-top: 2px #000000 solid; margin:0; padding:0; background-image:url(images/newback.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; margin-top:-0px; color: #ffffff; text-align:center; } div#newsbar {padding: 0%; text-align: center; height:140px; background-image:url(images/newback.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; background-color: #000044; color: #ffffff; margin-left: +150px; margin-right: +10px; margin-top: -180px; border: 2px #000000 solid; width: auto;} code { font-size:0.8em; border:1px solid navy; background-color:white; color:#333333; padding:10px; display:block; width:80%; margin:10px auto; overflow:auto; } h1 {font-size: 1.4em; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;} h2 {font-size: 1.3em; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;} h3 {font-size: 1.2em; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;} h4 {font-size: 1.1em; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;} h5 {font-size: 1em; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;} a:link {color: #ffffff; text-decoration: underline;} a:visited { color: #ffffff; text-decoration: underline;} a:hover {color: #dedbcb; background-color: #0000FF; text-decoration: underline;} I've got two questions of which one is to gather some opinions to help me decide what's best. 1) color notation in CSS: Any recommendations as to what notation I should use? examples: color: rgb(255,234,0) color: slateblue color: #FF99CC color: #F9C Is there some recommendation here? I'm quite used to the long hex notation e.g. #FF99CC. Is the short notation also very much accepted? And should I be using those at all or should I prepare myself with a new site to switch to rgb(). 2) text-decoration yes or no? I was thinking the following: A) when it's absolutely clear that some text presents a link, like e.g. in a menu or some newscolumn with a brief description and a bold title, then it's "okay" to set text-decoration: none. Maybe an underline or colorchange when hovering. B) When it's not absolutely clear what's a link, like some word in a paragraph text, use underline or at least some other colour which is consistent over the website for being a link. Also, with point B I was thinking of choosing: A new link: text-decoration with color and text-decoration gone with hover, for a nice effect. With a visited link: I) text-decoration but normal paragraph color and again text-decoration gone when hovering OR... II) no text-decoration, but still with that color and text-decoration when hovering. It troubles me coz I can't make up my mind. Something keeps telling me that I should try to keep those text-decorations like with B-I and simply remove the colour, instead of relying on colour to indicate a link. So forget about B-II?! Ah, it was this site which works on my conscious not to rely on color for links: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2003Mar/att-0002/01-part#colorunits Anybody got some comments or tips? And yes also some tip on the CSS I want things to be "user-friendly" enough, but this also means that I don't want text to be broken up too much. Some people even suggested that I should take ALL links out of the paragraph and simply mention them below the paragraph. All good points, but which way to go |
