visited links doesn't change color in IE7

5 New Member
Hi,

I'm encountering a problem with IE 7 that my visited links do not keep their colors changed when they are revisited. i.e, when I reload the page, the links should change their colors so that I know I had visited them before. My code works fine for IE 6. But doesn't work for IE 7.
I have put the style tag as follows in the start of my JSP
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <style type="text/css">
  2.     a:visited { text-decoration: none;
  3.     color: rgb(148, 148, 148);}
  4.     a:hover {text-decoration: none;
  5.     color: rgb(148, 148, 148);}
  6. </style>
Also my JSP includes other JSPs and HTMLs as well.

Please advice!

Hi,

It can be set by using the the tag a:visited. have a piece of code from following link
http://www.hscripts.com/tutorials/css/link-styles.php

This will help you to show the difference between visited and non visited links.

I have already done this, but the problem is the visited links show up as if they are unvisited the next time the page reloads..

hope this make sense to understand my query.

yes, they are created on the fly..
the thing is, the visited links appeared to be visited as long as I was using IE 6, even if i reloaded the page. But not so in IE 7 :(

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.

What I have a hard time agreeing to is his conclusion that web authors should deliberately change the...

I searched on this topic. Found others who mentioned it, but no solution. I can't seem to get visited links to appear in a different color in Mozilla or Firefox on the PC. It works fine in IE. My CSS is copied below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks DM

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.

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...

Hi, I would like to set the link's "visited" pseudo-class with javascript without clicking on the link.

Here are the following things I've already tried to no avail:

I know how to adjust the look of visited links with a CSS stylesheet, but how would one create individual variations among a set of links? For example, say I have three links, all initially looking the same. After clicking, I want the first to change to red, the second to be blue, the third to be green. Changing the color seems to be easiest, but if possible, I'd also like the visited links to vary by size, font, and maybe decoration...
