I've used this style for my links<br />
<br />
<style type="text/css"><br />
A { font-weight: normal;}<br />
A:link {text-decoration: none; color: #285169;}<br />
A:visited {text-decoration: none; color: #666666;}<br />
A:active {text-decoration: none; color: #285169;}<br />
A:hover {text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF;}<br />
</style><br />
<br />
All the links work fine on hover etc. etc.<br />
<br />
But when I do anchor links like this<br />
<br />
<A HREF=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"#why">Why should I register?</A><br />
<br />
The link automatically sets itself to the visited color instead of the default link color, I can't figure out why.<br />
<br />
If I clear my history then the colors are fine but as soon as I refresh they set themselves as the visited color.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions?<!--content-->that's because you're on the HTML document it's pointing to, even if you're not at the designated position.<br />
<br />
set up a class just for anchors. and you can use a span tag if necessary.<!--content-->p.s.,<br />
<br />
this is done using<br />
<br />
.class a:visited {style:style;}<br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
<a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"#why" class="class"></a><br />
<br />
so, if you have a bunch of local anchors, you could also use<br />
<br />
<span class="class"><br />
<a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"#why">Why should I register?</a><br />
