    CSS pseudo class :link – style for unvisited links

    on Apr 6, 2016

    CSS :link pseudo-class applies to links that have not yet been visited.

    Example – use :link to apply style to unvisited links

    This example displays unvisited links in red color. Clicking on a link makes it visited and style applied by :link is removed. Note that you will have to clear your browser cache to make this example work second time.

    <p>Clicking on these link will remove any :link style as it applies to unvisited links</p>
    <style type="text/css">
    a:link {
     color: red;
    }
    </style>
    <a href="#link1">link1</a> 
    <a href="#link2">link2</a>
    
    refresh done
    try it online
