The general syntax for formatting the hypertext links style:
where styles is a list of any CSS attributes.
Example:
| HTML tags | Result |
|---|---|
<style type="text/css">
a {font-size:1.5em; color:red}
a {text-decoration: none}
</style>
| test link test link |
Hypertext also has an additional attribute that normal text does not have: the condition of the hypertext link, which can be in one of the four following states:
| Hypertext links states |
|---|
a:visited {styles for previously visited targets}
a:link {styles for targets that have never been visited}
a:active {styles for links that are currently being clicked}
a:hover {styles when the mouse cursor is hovering over the link}
|
Examples:
| Style | Result |
|---|---|
a:visited {color:green}
a:hover {color:red; text-transform:uppercase}
|
try this link try this link |
Note that Netscape version 4.7 or earlier does not support the hover attribute.
