In the <body> tag of your html, put in link, vlink, and alink tags, and set them all to the same colour.

eg:

<body link="blue" alink="blue" vlink="blue">

You don't need to set it to blue - you can make it any colour you want.

HTH

Mike.

PS I like your sword :D

87727 2002-10-10 06:20:00 I just read the reply you gave Mike, and i think it is worth adding that somewhere in the pages html link,vlink and alink probably already exsist, and are set to the colors that Tim doesn't want.

Tim, have a look for an exsisting entry, and then make sure that it fits with your design concept.

There is also a good chance that the colors might be difined by hex code such as "#0000ff" instead of "blue"... play and see!

you could be right, but it'd surprise me if this were the case, as if he's built the site from scratch, then it would only be there if he's added it in himself - at the moment they will probably be just using the default system colours for links.

87729 2002-10-10 07:05:00 Why don't you want the visited links changing colour? It's actually quite handy for visitors to know that they've visited a page because it saves them wasting time reloading a page they saw five minutes ago without realising it.

If you frustrate people enough you might stop them visiting your site again.

Well my site visitors aren't that thick :p All my links stay the same colour . . . it seems that's the way corporates are going these days too . . .

87731 2002-10-10 08:47:00 Well I suppose it doesn't matter too much on a small site, but imagine this site with links that stay the same colour. :O

If large corporate sites are going that way they are very foolish. Who wants to keep opening the same page when exploring around a large site that has links all over the place? I often notice that some links on new pages have changed to a "visited" colour after haring around a big site looking for something and it's been handy knowing that I've already been to those pages.

87732 2002-10-10 09:01:00 Ok, i had a look at the site...
(i assume its the "Clan" site)
This line
<BODY id=bg text=#cccccc bgProperties=fixed bgColor=#646464>
is the one where the links can get added.
It should become something like
<BODY id=bg text=#cccccc bgProperties=fixed vLink="#0000ff" aLink="#ff0000" link="#0000ff" bgColor=#646464> these values would give you a blue link, a blue visited link (vlink), and a red link as you click on it (alink).
try and play till you get what you like.

BTW, Mike you were right, there is no reference on the site to what the link colors should be.
