Why is it that after i visit a link on this web-site, the color of the link remains the same as if I have not yet visited that link. Does'nt the link color change to RED if the link was visited once.<BR><BR>I am using IE4/NT workstation/IE Option - Have History=31 days, Temp folder = 200MB. <BR><BR>Any Takers??

This can be accomplished with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which is, by the way, an excellent technique (or whatever you'd like to call it) to use. Briefly, the answer to your specific question is as follows:<BR><BR>In the <HEAD> portion of your HTML document, add the following lines to make your links green and without the underlined effect:<BR><BR><STYLE TYPE="text/css"><BR><!-- <BR> A:link {color: green; text-decoration: none}<BR> A:visited {color: green; text-decoration: none}<BR> A:active {color: green; text-decoration: none}<BR>--><BR></STYLE><BR><BR>For a more complete intro to stylesheets, my personal recommendation is always www.jalfrezi.com.<BR><BR>Good Luck :)
