Link states (link, visited, hover & active) - removing during development

[Eric G]

Hello,

Using FP 2003 I have a stylesheet that specifies the 4 states of hyperlink
actions:

A:link {font-family: "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", "sans-serif";
font-size: 9pt; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; line-height: 140%;}
/* unvisited links */
A:visited {font-family: "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", "sans-serif";
font-size: 9pt; color: #111111; text-decoration: none; line-height: 140%;}
/* visited links */
A:hover {font-family: "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", "sans-serif";
font-size: 9pt; color: #0000FF; text-decoration: underline; line-height:
140%;} /* user hovers */
A:active {font-family: "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", "sans-serif";
font-size: 9pt; color: #6177FF; text-decoration: none; line-height: 140%;}
/* active links */

The various link states show up fine, but how do I remove, for example, the
"visited" state of the hyperlink on my development system, so that I can
visually see the basic "unvisited link" state?
Removing "Temporary Internet Files" does not help. Where, or how, are the
various link states stored?

As far as I know, the only way to reset the visited pseudo-class would be to
restart the session, i.e., close FP and restart it.

By the way, using points for font sizing is not optimal on the web, since
that is primarily a print metric. It's best to use pixels, ems, exs, ens,
percents, or size names instead, which are more suitable for web use.

Kathleen,

Many thanks for your quick reply, and, of course, it works, quick and easy
(and obvious ...).

You're welcome - but it looks like Kathleen was even closer to the mark....
