I know that this might be weird for me asking something so 'simple' but I just cannot figure out how to change my text's color when hovered over and visited. can anyone please lead me in the right direction?

thanks!

>>>when hovered over and visited
Are you talking about links? If so, this can be accomplished in the body tag:
<body link="#000000" alink="#000000" vlink="#000000">

This is presentational, therefore should be done with CSS instead of with body attributes.

Add this to the head of your document (a better solution would involve storing this in a separate .css file and including it, but I'm going for simplicity here):

Note, links are only "active" when you are in the process of clicking them. That is, "active" does not mean "if this link is the current page, highlight it differently".

Hope this helps.

umm, no one might see this, but is there a way to get links to be links, then be underlined when hovered over? I've seen it around, but I can't get it and I've searched and searhced and you great people here always seem to answer it!

thanks in advance!
