Lesson 4: Linking Tags
(About Link Colors)

The <body> tag has attributes to control the link color for your document's visited, unvisited and active links. By setting these attributes, you insure that all visitors will see your links in the color theme you intend. A visitor won't notice a change if his browser's default link colors are the same as the color settings you use, however you should set these attributes in all your HTML documents. If you don't, the link colors will be controlled by the default color settings of the visitor's browser.


  link  - The color of an unvisited link.
  vlink - The color of a visited link.
  alink - The color of a link being clicked on.
