Problems with visited links being inconsistent

M

Matt Stanley

I'm experiencing frustration with our site not consistently displaying
visited links. We use CSS, and the links on some pages work as intended, but
others do not.

To see an example of what I'm talking about visit the following page:
http://hwcs.com/products/index.asp

Then click back and Refresh the page... the link does not change color. The
problem exists in both IE & NS.

Any idea what's going on here, or how to fix it?

Thnx in advance for your help.

So what is it you intend? For "links to be links"? That would be good:

I can't, because I went straight to your example page.
and Refresh the page... the link does not change
color.

I clicked on the "20 software products" link, then
used by Back button, and that link didn't change
color to indicate that it had been visited.
The problem exists in both IE & NS.

Hint: the "problem" disappears if I disable your stylesheet.

Whomever wrote the CSS used on this page has made it so
that normal, active, and visited links all display the same:
..pageBody A:active, .pageBody A:link, .pageBody A:visited {
color: #0000FF;
text-decoration: underline;
}

By the way - it's considered to be "a good thing" to have
valid webpages, especially when posting examples asking
for help. Your page won't validate. If I force an encoding
of 'windows-1252', then I see there are 28 errors.
