How can I change the colour of hyperlinks to white in HTML and CSS?
Use the color CSS property.
a { color: white; }
Problem is, visited links may not be shown as white as well. You may need to add extra rules:
a, a:hover, a:active, a:visited { color: white; }
You use CSS
a
{
color: #ffffff;
}
Anchor Pseudo-classes:
http://www.w3schools.com/CSS/css_pseudo_classes.asp
just guessing, you may be looking for these as well:
a:link
{
color:#FFFFFF;
}
a:visited
{
color:#FFFFFF;
}
a:hover
{
color:#FFFFFF;
}
a { color: #fff; }
in your css file.
I will add that if you're doing it to try and hide many white links on a white background of a page it is a very bad idea.
It can be done in following ways:
1) If you want to color of hyperlinks to white in HTML specific link, then use
Some text
2) To add color of hyperlinks to white in CSS from entire html page, Create a .css file, In that write following:
{ a, a:hover, a:active, a:visited { color: white; }
It will suppress color of hyperlinks white from every link.

The problem I'm facing is, I couldn't change the color of the unvisited link without using the ID preference. Am I missing some core knowledge? What is the difference between;
a:link {
background-color: red;
color: aliceblue;
text-decoration: none;
}
and
#change {
color: aliceblue;
}
The first code part changes the background color but the color of the font remains unchanged. To change the color of the font I needed to used the second code part the one with 'change' as ID.
Sample code as follows: https://codepen.io/can-zgen/pen/GbVyLv
(The part that I'm talking about is at the bottom of the page)
I believe the CSS selectors you want are a:link(reference) to style unvisited links and a:visited(reference) to style visited links.
On a side note, I think your code is working but you have "visited" the links before So, a:link is not applied for you; a:visited is applied. Try doing you dev work for this using Incognito in Chrome (or the equivalent mode in your browser of choice)
Use the change as a class. After that you should use javascript to add this class once the link is clicked for the first time.
a:link color is not working probably because its overwritten by some other css. You can try -
a {
background-color: red;
color: aliceblue;
text-decoration: none;
}
or
a, a:link, a:visited {
background-color: red;
color: aliceblue;
text-decoration: none;
}
and it will work. And if you want to make it specific to only netflix and youtube (from your example), then you can do as follows -
.lilBox a {
background-color: red;
color: aliceblue;
text-decoration: none;
}
I have some hyperlinks with titles inside <code> </code>, such as:
<code>Title</code>
How can I change the color of the hyperlink when the mouse hovers on it? I first tried adding to the .css file
a:hover {
color: red;
}
but this doesn't do it, only the regular hyperlinks are colored. I then tried
a:hover, code:hover {
color: red;
}
which almost works, but it also colors non-hyperlink <code> sections, such as
<code> some code here </code>
How can I color only the <code> hyperlinks, excluding the <code> non-hyperlinks, when the mouse hovers over them?
Assuming the real issue is a specificity issue because of a rule giving code a specified color, I can recommend two approaches. The first is that you can specify a color for the rule a code.
code{color:red;}
a:hover, a:hover code{color:green}
<code>Title</code>
The other is to allow code to inherit its color if it's in an anchor tag.
code{color:red;}
a code{color:inherit}
a:hover{color:green}
<code>Title</code>
Specify anchor tags inside of the <code> blocks like so:
a:hover, a code:hover {
color: red;
}
Here is a fiddle of it in action: https://jsfiddle.net/gcbvduyb/
a:hover, a:hover code {
color: red;
}
Would also work.
a:link {
color: blue;
background-color: transparent;
text-decoration: underline;
}

I'm slowly learning html/css. I have a client that wants 3 links on the page to be noticeable link colors (in this case, blue). However, when I try to edit the style of the links, only two of them are showing the changes.
I can't set it globally, or other links (such as some social media icons) are changing.
Here is what I've tried:
div.entry-content a:link {
color: blue;
}
entry-content a:link {
color: blue;
}
Here is what I'm looking at when I inspect the page:
So, where am I going wrong? I hope I added everything needed for assistance. Thanks.
I'm assuming all three links are wrapped in in div with class entry-content. The only thing I can think of is that the first link is black or darker color because it's active or visited. You can style your links with just a selector or with additional pseudo selectors.
/* Just a selector */
.entry-content a {
color: blue;
}
/* Just a selector */
.entry-content a,
.entry-content a:visited,
.entry-content a:active {
color: blue;
}
It seems you have clicked on the link earlier, so the link status is active or visited.
Try this, if ok then update your code with pseudo selectors :active and :visited:
a, a:link, a:visited, a:active {
color: blue;
}
Hope this help!
Try adding a class name to the anchors, like so:
<a class="blue" href="url">link text</a> and then in your css create the blue class .blue { color: blue; }
I have taken the links dynamically which are coming in a list. When i click on the link, in other container its page opens. I want to change the visited link color.Basically the block background color. I am able to change color on click. but i need it will stay as it is until n unless i refresh the page. I used
ul
{
list-style-type: none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
text-decoration:none;
display: block;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
}
ul li{
padding-bottom: 10px;
text-decoration: none;
}
li:hover {
background-color:#7EA5E4;
}
li a:visited, a:active{
background-color: #09F;
}
Please suggest me where i have to do changes.
That is, what :visited does. But you "block" is the list item, which can't be visited, because it isn't a link. Style you anchor as block by moving the appropriate styles from the list item to the anchor. That way you also could style the background.
You could try something like, changing the colour / font family to suite you
.Link A:visited {
text-decoration: none;
font-family: arial,sans-serif ;
color: #fff;
}
The .link is a custom class
Hope this can help,
Thanks,
Jack.
i hope you are looking like this:- http://tinkerbin.com/VsbhpxGi
you just have to make .active class and define in li
like this :-
li.active {
background-color:#7EA5E4;
}

So I'm just trying to create a small website. (Don't worry that's not going
to be the title)
Right now the "Home" "News" "Gallery" and "About us" are not actual buttons that direct to another page. When I do
Home
The button turns into color purple and it is underlined. (I know this is how links are shown) But is there a way that I can make these buttons stay color orange like in the picture without them turning blue and underlined. Thanks

You can set the styles inline, but the best way to do it is through a css class.
To do it inline:
Home
To do it through a class:
Home
a.nav-link:link
{
color: #fb3f00;
text-decoration: none;
}
a.nav-link:visited
{
color: #fb3f00;
text-decoration: none;
}
a.nav-link:hover
{
color: #fb3f00;
text-decoration: none;
}
a.nav-link:active
{
color: #fb3f00;
text-decoration: none;
}
To do it through a class, you need to put the css code in a separate css file and link it in or you can put it in the head of the document. The best practice is to put it in an external css file so it can be used throughout.
If you want the orange to be on every link throughout, just remove the ".nav-link" part of the classes and remove the class="nav-link" from the link tag. This will make all links orange unless you have defined a another class and explicitly applied it to a link tag.
Good Luck!
Using CSS instead of inline styles will work much better:
a {
color:orange;
text-decoration:none;
}
You can also get fancier and have the underline appear when you hover:
a:hover, a:focus {
text-decoration:underline;
}
This can help improve user experience (UX), though if the links are in the header it may be naturally apparent that they are links. (UX design is more complex than this of course, because you have to consider things like touchscreen users that have no "hover". :) )
All links come with different states so if you want them to stay with just one color you can modify all the states together like so:
a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active { color: orange }
You can do that by using CSS.
to set this in your code right at the end of the head-section
<style TYPE="text/css">
a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active { color: #ff8080;
text-decoration: none;
}
</style>
and change the #ff8080 in your color
I have the perfect solution for you!
I'm copying and pasting straight from my code. make it relevant to you. This definitely works for what you are trying to achieve.
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
a:link { color:#ffffff; text-decoration: none; }
a:visited { color:#33348e; text-decoration: none; }
a:hover { color:#91ac48; text-decoration: none; }
a:active { color:#7476b4; text-decoration: underline; }
