I've got regular text links that I would like to change. You know how regular text links are BLUE and once they are visited they are PURPLE....my question is how do I change this. I know you can, I have just forgotten how to and I can't seem to find it in any of my books

Personally, I think the easiest way is to use external style sheets.

I haven't done style sheets in a long, long time. I went over to w3.org and what do you know, they actually have a section on this. You would want to use the CSS style sheets to be HTML compatible, David.

Here is the link I'm looking at now: http://www.w3.org/Style/

The CSS page is here: http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/

It's a huge amount of information, David. I spend about half of my time trying to find the right section to find the answer :D
