Hi,

I have very little knowledge regarding scripting.

I have seen that webpages nowadays, the link th at are present on the site, their color doesn't change upon clicking.

Unlike in my case when I click on anylink text link on my webpage, its color changes from Blue to purple.

Is there any way to avoid this, like to m ake it stay blue or any other color of my desire from the beginning whether someone clicks on it or not.

Thanks

I'm basically very new to the HTML stuff, however I literally just went over how to do this 5 minutes ago using CSS. Here is a site with a killer tutorial which has really expanded my knowledge when it comes to the overall appearance of your site - http://www.westciv.com/style_master/house/tutorials/index.html (There is a nice demo there that will work for 30 days to use along with the tutorial. I'm 99% sure I'm gonna buy it afterwards. Appears to be a killer CSS editor

However if you simply want to change the links on one page without messing with CSS here's the default links and how it would look-

in the body section you may see - <body link="#C0C0C0" vlink="#808080" alink="#FF0000"> You can just change the vlink to the color you want either in hexidecimal like the set one, or just use the color name.

(Keep in mind I'm a total newbie, but I'm 99% sure this is right)

It's probably a good idea to use CSS, but those properties should work. Just set them to the same thing and it won't change when clicked, etc.
