Hi James, I have tried that as well and I can't see where its inheriting the colour from. I'll have a look in the morning. Mo

The colour that a link turns while it is being clicked on with the mouse 
("activated") can be changed as follows:

a:active  { color: <whatever> }

The more common web browsers default to red if the setting is not 
otherwise changed via a stylesheet.

For more info, see:

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#dynamic-pseudo-classes

Note in particular the paragraph which is highlighted in dark red - 
styling rules need to be defined in the correct order in order to be 
applied as intended.

Regards,

James
