[Wolves] URL Link colour

[Simon W. Fielding]

Have you tried using the Firebug addon to Firefox so that you can see
the cascade of styles applied? I use it all the time to figure which
stylesheet etc is doing what.

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 Sent using

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:

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
