How do i remove that color from a link already visited?

in your CSS you need to declare a color for the state a:visited to match the color for a.

For example:

HTML Code:

a { text-decoration: none; color: #999; }
a:visited { color: #999; }
a:hover { color: #333; }

that way, the visited link will stay the same color as the unvisited link.

Thanks for the reply. How about:

link="blue" alink="blue" vlink="blue" on the <body>?

Code:

a { text-decoration: none; color:  #0000FF; }
a:visited { color:  #0000FF; }
a:hover { color:  #0000FF; }

This will change all the links on your website. The body should take up the entire website however if you would like to specify body for some reason use the code below.

Code:

body a { text-decoration: none; color: #0000FF; }
body a:visited { color: #0000FF; }
body a:hover { color: #0000FF; }

If you need a hex color code you can generate one at this website:

In this you can only define 1 color per page.
In CSS you can create seperate color combinations per page.
