Hi All,

I want to change the color of the links which are visited. Therefore, I have done the following changes to the css file: -
a:Link
{
font: normal 100% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #131843;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:Visited
{
font: normal 100% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #131843;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:Hover
{
font: normal 100% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #3f4f90;
text-decoration: underline;
}

a:Active
{
font: normal 100% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #131843;
text-decoration: none;
}

and below that

a.content_links:Link
{
color: #131843;
text-decoration: underline;
}

a.content_links:Visited
{
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
}

a.content_links:Hover
{
text-decoration: none;
}

content_links is a class that is used in the code.

However when I check the code, I find the color of the links changed even before I click on any link. The view source shows the following: -
<a target="_self" class="content_links" id="randomLink" href="#" onclick="javascript:submitForm('/someProject/DoSomeAction.do?valueid=1234&trigger=newtrigger');return false;">

Please let me know what changes I need to do in order to make this code work.
