You know how when you first load a page a link is one color, but then when you click on it the color changes.

Is there any way to keep the link a particular color no matter how many times it was clicked?

Use a font tag... If you're using a graphical editor, just highlight the text and specify a font colour. Make sure the font tag is inside the A tag.

You could also do this with css, but if you haven't got many links then this way is easiest

The CSS ways include

(after your title tag but in the head tag)

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
A {
color: blue;
}
</STYLE>


or... (more complex)


<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
A:link {
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
color: #C00;
background: #FFC;
}

A:visited {
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
color: #C00;
background: #FFC;
}

A:active {
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
color: #C00;
background: #FFC;
}

A:hover {
text-decoration: none;
color: #CCC;
background: #FF0;
}

A.offsite {
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: normal;
color: #C00;
background: #FFC;
}
</STYLE>

does this help?

Well ummm... confession is good for the soul and all that so... I'm not absolutely certain either, but i think it's if the link goes to a different web site, using a different window. I just copied it out of a W3 style sheet...

a.offsite checks for links that will be on a different domain than your site. Basically, you could use it to let visitors know that they will be leaving your site by clicking the link.

Well Dave... Sod is always waitin' around the corner, isn't he? (lol)

Your honesty is admirable. Thanks (it sure beats gettin' the shine-on).

Thanks for keepin' it real guys!

thinking that "offsite" is over-rated...
