Dumb Question

I am using Front Page 2003. The default behavior when some one click on a
link is to change the color of the link from Blue to Purple which is OK most
of the time. However, I wish to leave the color of the links as Blue even
AFTER the user has clicked on the link. How can I have the color stay blue?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

I just figured this one out.

File, Properties, Formatting, Visited Hyperlink, Choose the color you like.

I hope that helps,

While that is a valid method, it is getting old.

The current construct for this would be to use CSS to style the links. The
CSS method will allow you to go way beyond the page formatting construct,
you can use it to also change the background color, font & variants, amongst
other things. This is how many sites are doing the rollover links

Implementation is not very hard either, and you can target how it works,
allowing you different effects for different areas of the page.

Basic Implementation, add this to the <head> section of the code

<style type="text/css">
a {background-color:silver; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;
text-decoration:none}
a:link {color:blue}
a:visited {color:blue; text-decoration:line-through;}
a:hover a:active {color: white; background-color:gray;
text-decoration:underline}
</style>

What this will do is make all of your hyperlinks bold, italic, blue, and
with no underline on a silver background. When someone hovers over the link,
the color will change to white on a gray background, and the text will be
underlined. After that, the link will revert to blue in color, but once
visited it will have a line through it

That is a better way Mike.
