I'm a novice HTML programming, but I looked though guides and there's all this stuff I didn't see in the first guide. I'd say I know 90% of the code, but some code wasnt reviewed over. Anyway, my main concern is, to get better at HTML and building websites. I have my own website, but its really tacky. <br />
I'm trying to make it look more spiffy. I noticed some websites such as <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gemstone3.com">www.gemstone3.com</a><!-- w --> (a gaming site) do this: When you point your cursor at a link, it underlines it AND highlights it from blue to dark. Now how do you do this? This sure would add a nice touch to my website if I knew how to do this! <br />
<br />
I understand that underline is <u> however I don't undedrstand how you can make a link turn from blue, to dark, when you click on it.<br />
<br />
Thanks all<br />

I do not know where you have looked at "guides" but the place to go is the W3C Schools Online Tutorials (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3schools.com/">http://www.w3schools.com/</a><!-- m -->). They have HTML, CSS and every computer language/technology you could ever need or use.<br />

It is a little different than HTML. If you go to the link for the W3C schools or the links Charles posted and take a look. If you have any questions, ask and someone will help you out.<br />
