[SOLVED] a:visited color

[Andy17]

Hey guys, just a quick question. Is there a way to make visited links the same color as links that are not visited, except making a and a:visited the same color (just so I won't have to find a hex color close to the original).

 

Basically I want to get rid of the purple kind of color the browsers automatically make when you visit a link and just have it display the normal link color.

 

I did a quick search and didn't really find anything. If I missed it, I apologize.

Unfortunately you can not just have them all be the same without defining the values.

 

You can however get the hex value of the color rather simply, just do a screen capture of your page and use any the color picker tool from any graphics program to select that color from where you should be able to see the color code.

Yeah ok, I just hoped there was a better solution, but hey, I'll only have to do it once! Thanks for the quick reply!

I am just interested, is your CSS all in one file?

(I am pretty new to CSS but anyway)

If so, can't you just copy what ever is on ':link' to ':visited'?

a:link 
{color: #FFFFFF;
}
a:visited
{color: #FFFFFF;
}

?

Yeah it is. Sure I could, but I just didn't edit the link color, it's just the default one so that's why.
