learn html: Link styles: example program

•Links can be styled with any CSS property (e.g. color, font-family, background, etc.).

•In addition, links can be styled differently depending on what state they are in.

•The four links states are:

•a:link - a normal, unvisited link

•a:visited - a link the user has visited

•a:hover - a link when the user mouses over it

•a:active - a link the moment it is clicked

a:link {color:#FF0000;} /* unvisited link */
a:visited {color:#00FF00;} /* visited link */
a:hover {color:#FF00FF;} /* mouse over link */
a:active {color:#0000FF;} /* selected link */
