Lesson 4: Link Colors

Overview

The LINK tag lets the person change the color of the links. There are two types of links:
An unvisited link is a link a reader has not previously selected.
And a visited link is a link a reader has been to.

Learner Outcomes

At the end of lesson 4 students will be able to change the link colors to help the visitor recognize if they have been to the page or site.

To change the color of links:


Place the cursor inside the BODY tag

To change the color of links that have not yet been visited type LINK="#rrggbb"

To change the color of links that have already been visited, type VLINK="#rrggbb"

To change the color of a link when clicked on type ALINK="#rrggbb"

See example below

<html>
<Head>
<Title>Link Colors</Title>
</Head>
<A body link="rrggbb"> replacing the rrggbb with the a hexadecimal representation of the desired color.

Repeat the link step for each type of link

</body>
</html>
