Two different 'visited hyperlinks' colours on same page

[Guest]

Here is something I want to do using Frontpage 2003 -

Senario - Say I have in separate tables with hyperlink (text) colours as:

1) Table 1 - white text on blue background color; and
2) Table 2 within table 1 - blue on a WHITE background

I want the hyperlinks in table 1 to remain white after they have been
visited (as if they go the normal default 'pinky' type color they look
bad/ordinary) BUT for table 2 to go the default 'pinky' color (otherwise if
they go white after clicking on then as per Table 1 then you can not see them)

In Frontpage if I use the - Page Properties/Formatting option to change the
'hyperlink', 'visited hyperlink', 'active hyperlink' color options it applies
then globally for everything - I need them to be table or cell specific, etc

Can anyone help me out at all with this one?

Kev,

You will need to use CSS to do that.

Check if your colors in the HTML Tags, and your CSS.

Remember; If you have 2 CSS, that may be the problem.

 

[Stefan B Rusynko]

Create a style (using a class name - say white) in the head section for the table 1 links
<style type="text/css">
a.white {color: white; text-decoration: none}
a.white:link {color: white; text-decoration: none}
a.white:visited {color: white; text-decoration: none}
a.white:hover {color: white; text-decoration: underline}
a.white:active {color: white; text-decoration: none}
</style>

And apply the class to the links in table 1
<a href="yourlink.htm" class="white">
