I’m having some problems with the styling of hyperlinks.
I have very simple grey hyperlinks with an underline overstate. They preview fine in Freeway but some (not all) of them turn a “purple” color when I preview them in a browser (weird because at no time have styled them purple). Any ideas? Thanks!

You’re seeing the default “visited” state of the link, created by the browser’s default stylesheet since you didn’t (apparently) set a visited style. If you duplicate your default link style into the visited style, you will see whatever you define there. There’s a bit of theology at work here – if you are making links within the body of your page, it’s considered canonical to provide some visual hint that a link has already been followed, as a service to your readers. However, for global navigation links, I personally don’t style the visited any differently than the link, because they are made to be used over and over, and I want them to look like control areas.

They become “coloured” once you have clicked them.
Check in Styles Inspector.

Walt, that was brilliant. It explains my purple link thing in Safari and Chrome.
Just made the visited the same color.
Thanks!!!
