Link Attributes - 3/30/2002 19:58:59
This is a subject that has been brought up many times but I'm going to add a fourth property which most people don't mention and its called the a:active property. See the example below from my current style sheet...
a:link{
text-decoration:underline;
color:#3366cc;
background:transparent;
}
a:visited{
text-decoration:underline;
color:#808080;
background:transparent;
}
a:hover{
text-decoration:none;
color:#6699ff;
background:transparent;
}
a:active{
text-decoration:none;
color:#ff0000;
background:transparent;
The a:active property is an on click event that is supported by IE and later versions of Netscape (6.0 and above). As a matter of fact, NS 6 is now supporting all four properties above.
Want to add a background color to your links? Change the
background:transparent;
to
background:#000000; (specify hex value)
You can even choose to have a different background color for each of the four properties. Text-decoration and color I would assume are self explanatory.
Neat little features that help add a little pizzazz to your links!

RE: Link Attributes - 4/2/2002 10:53:15
I should add to this that you must list the attributes in the order above. If you don't, then all or some of them will not work. Here is a snippet from the W3C...
Note that the
a:hover
must be placed after the
a:link
and
a:visited
rules, since otherwise the cascading rules will hide the 'color' property of the
a:hover
rule. Similarly, because A:active is placed after A:hover, the active color (lime) will apply when the user both activates and hovers over the A element.
