Text Link Styles using CSS Selectors
CSS selectors alter the appearance of your links. To use a CSS
selector, simply follow the same procedures you would use to create
a custom style but select Use CSS Selector from the New Style dialog
box.
Your options for CSS selectors allow you to specify the appearance
of links under 4 different conditions:
- Formatting of link text (a:link).
- Formatting of link text the visitor has already clicked (a:visited).
- Formatting of link text while the visitor clicks it (a:active).
- Formatting of link text while the mouse hovers over the link
(a:hover).
Three of the CSS Selectors are very similar to the link specifications
you can use in the <BODY> tag: link, vlink, and alink all
specify link colors. You can do the same with CSS Selectors and
save yourself the trouble of specifying your link colors in every
<BODY> tag on every page.
The a:hover option in CSS Selectors allows you to change the colors,
add highlighting, and add or remove underlines when the mouse is
hovering over a link. This effect is similar to adding the javascript
swap image behavior, but in this case, the behavior works on your
text links.
Note: The a:hover CSS selector does not work with Netscape 4.x.
