I'm experiencing frustration with our site not consistently displaying
visited links. We use CSS, and the links on some pages work as intended, but
others do not.
To see an example of what I'm talking about visit the following page: http://hwcs.com/products/index.asp
Click the "20 software products" link, then click back and Refresh the
page... the link does not change color. The problem exists in both IE & NS.
Any idea what's going on here, or how to fix it? Thnx in advance for your
help.

Most of the a:link selectors in your style sheet specify the same rules as
the corresponding a:visited selectors, so of course your visited links look
just like your unvisited links.
In this case, the relevant bit is:
.pageBody A:active, .pageBody A:link, .pageBody A:visited {
color: #0000FF;
text-decoration: underline;
}

Your CSS is setting unvisited and visited links in that part of the
page to the same colour:
..pageBody A:active, .pageBody A:link, .pageBody A:visited {
color: #0000FF;
text-decoration: underline;
}
No doubt those links where it works are not inside pageBody and thus
are affected by other styles.

Thanks to both Steve & Darin! It's so obvious now that I feel silly for
missing it. I inherited this code from a 3rd party vendor that developed it,
and am often discovering weird quirks like this one that need fixing.
Sometimes it just takes another set of eyes, though I should have examined
the CSS more closely. Thanks again!

I'm probably missing something, but how would you expect <a
href="product_l ist.asp"> to perform based on your external style sheet

As well known I could specify the text color in the body tag like:
<BODY TEXT=WHITE LINK=WHITE VLINK=RED ALINK=WHITE>
What I want to achieve now is that always (!) the text of the last visited link and
the text of the link under the cursor are red. All other links should be white.
The problem with the construction above is that a visited link remains for the rest of
the session red regardless wether it was visited 17 clicks back in...

Jakob Nielsen in his most recent Alertbox

I agree to his purpose: Help users understand where they have been. I
also agree to the background: Too many web authors keep uniform link

What I have a hard time agreeing to is his conclusion that web authors

Greetings.
Using CSS, a programmer can set the color for an href link and a different
color for a VISITED href link.
Anyone know where this "list" of visited links is stored?
Is it accessible (can I read it) with ASP?
Is it updateable (can I add new links to the list) with ASP?

First visit all of the links on the page. For each, if the link opens a new
window, close it. If it opnes in teh same window, hit back.
then hit REFRESH.
Notice that while all links SHOULd be displayed in the visited color,
usually not ALL of the links that open in a new window (the first 4) will
appear as visited. The links that open in the same window will always
appear as visited.

This is not entirely a PHP question although it is based in PHP.
I have been creating a site, where I want the visitors to see the visited links as "Crossed Out" using CSS. However, I also want this effect to disappear after about 18 hours, so I used a PHP cookie to read when the last time the user visited the site was, and change the CSS so that the "visited" links had the same "Style" as the regular links. This seemed to work, however...

I'm looking to reset the visited link color once another link is selected. Also, once that link takes me to a particular page, I want the font-weight for that page to be bold to indicate that it's the page you're looking at.
Now, if the links have never been visited before, they are blue. If you hover over the links they turn light blue. I want the user to be able to select the link and it take you to that page. On that page, I want the link...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
