Example
This example shows a set styles of anchor elements that will visually change color and text-decoration depending on state and mouse behavior:
a {
color: blue;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:active {
color: yellow;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:link {
color: blue;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:visited {
color: purple;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:focus {
color: red;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
color: red;
text-decoration: none;
}
Remarks
Takes the same properties as a regular anchor element. You can style an a:link element to show that the link has not yet been clicked.
