Links visited not persistent

[rcarnes]

Hello people, this is my first post out here so please be gentle.

I have a table with like 15 rows and 2 cols. I click on a link, get the results I am looking for and the color changes fine (vlink color). I then go to click on another link and the first link changes back to the link color. Any ideas on why the vlink colors would not stay ? I haven't reloaded the page or anything.

Thanks,

Welcome
Let's see your code :D

Here's the code attached in a zip file.....

Everything's working fine to me. Green links and the blue ones. Could you be more specific about what you're getting? What do you exactly want to get?

[zoobie]

Everything works fine here.
LINK="#339966" VLINK="#663399" ALINK="#666666"
Perhaps the stylesheet on your box is set to the opposite so you don't see the result. Check your display settings. :eek:

Ok, here's what I'm seeing.

If I click the Lyrics link for any song a popup is supposed to happen which it does. At this point, the link has changed color to indicate it has been visited. If I go to select another Lyrics link, then the same thing happens (popup occurs, link changes color as expected) but the first link I click goes back to its 'link' color as opposed to staying at the 'vlink' color. I have attache my stylesheet as well as 2 of the html files that get displayed in the popups. I will attach the rage-lyrics and the with-you-lyrics files, so just click on those links.

Thanks,

It's really weird because it works just fine with this colours:

a {
text-decoration: none;
}
a:link {
color: green;
}
a:active {
color: red;
}
a:visited {
color: magenta;
}
a:hover, a:visited:hover {
color: blue;
}

But not with yours:

a {
text-decoration: none;
}
a:link {
color: #FFFFCE;
}
a:active {
color: #CC99FF;
}
a:visited {
color: #FFFFCE;
}
a:hover, a:visited:hover {
color: #FFCC99;
}

Try to change the current colors to see what happens. :)

Yeah, that's wierd, I changed the colors to names as opposed to the hex values and it worked fine.

Thanks,


Editing this post....

If I use hex values like #00FF00, or #0000FF, then it seems to work fine, I don't know why those other colors keep reverting/don't work ????

Thanks for your help
