Syntax
[a]:link { sRules }
Possible values
sRules
String that specifies one or more cascading style sheet attribute/value pairs.
Remarks
The default value of the :link pseudo-class is browser-specific. The time period used to define a recent visit also varies by browser.
The :link pseudo-class is often used with :active, :hover, and :visited, the pseudo-classes that affect the other states of a link.
Example
The following style rule uses the :link pseudo-class to set the default color property of a link in a document:
![]() | |
---|---|
<style> a:link {color:#FF0000} </style> |
Standards information
