Using CSS to modify a visited hyperlink

[ArizonaJohn]

Hello,

 

I am dynamically generating an HTML table in PHP.  The cells in the third column of the table are hyperlinks.  I would like these cells to turn white (color #FFFFFF) after the hyperlink has been clicked.  I can't get the CSS to do this.  It seems to me that all of my applicable CSS would turn the "visited" link white, but it's not.

 

Below is the code for this column.  What CSS would be best to make the cells in this column turn white after they have been clicked?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

John

 

 

print "<td class='ballot'>".'<span class="button" id="button'.$row['id'].'">'.'<a href="javascript:;" class="cell1" id="'.$row['id'].'">'.Vote.'</a>'.'</span>'."</td>";

You didn't show any of your CSS.

w3schools knows it all

Note: a:hover MUST come after a:link and a:visited in the CSS definition in order to be effective!!

 

Note: a:active MUST come after a:hover in the CSS definition in order to be effective!!

 

Note: Pseudo-class names are not case-sensitive.

 

Note: Pseudo-classes can be also be combined with CSS classes:

a.red:visited {color: #FF0000}
