Links visited colors

[Special Access]

Other than with the "accessibility" option to ignore web page colors,
is there any way to override the "force" of color scheme from a web
site?

IE eBay is now forcing a certain color scheme... blue for links,
purple for links visited, and a red hover color. If I "ignore web
page colors", then all the formatting goes away... All I really want
to do is change the links visited color. Is this possible, or will
eBay have to do something?

Hi,
Try different settings in Internet Options> General> Colors. I'm not sure
that this will override the webpage's colors. But it's worth a try.

worth a try... but failed miserably <sigh>
Thanks for the reply, though.

Try creating your own StyleSheet? (which would only override
their overrides)

BTW I'm not sure how they work. One possibility is that your
StyleSheet has to contain all specifications for all StyleSheets
that you want to support. Another, with a less obvious implementation,
would be that yours only overrides the elements from others that you
don't like. The first would be straightforward but tedious; the second
would arcane but elegant and simple.

Please let us know if you find a solution.


Good luck

not exaclty.. .I'm running 2000 (sorry, should've stated that in the
beginning).

Thanks for the reply, though. Anything I learn from here will be put
to use sometime.

Hey, if I find an answer, you guys will be the second to know!! I'll
have to investigate the stylesheet and see where it leads.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm going to try something here:
Here is the code a friend of mine sent me. It turns off the
underline, links are black and visited links are red.

/*
* Test CSS for global settings
*/

:link, :visited { text-decoration: none ! important }
:link:hover, :visited:hover { text-decoration: none ! important }

:link, :link * { color: black ! important; }
:visited, :visited * { color: red ! important; }
:link:active, :visited:active, :link:active *, :visited:active * {
color: orange ! important;
}

This was called "mysheet.css" and is used as a style sheet under the
accessibility section. Yes, it works for all sites visited without
intefering with any other style settings on the pages.
