When click into a page, hyperlink text first shown as Visited status

Hyperlink in Wrong Status Color

[neveseven]

Pls help!
When press F12 key from DW, IE5 display the hyperlink text with LINK color(blue), MOUSE-OVER color(red) & VISITED color(grey)if click on it, all show nicely.

When click away from this page then come back to this page again through menubar button, ALL the hyperlink text show VISITED color (grey) even there is no clicking on the hyperlink, including some hyperlink that were not clicked at all earlier on.
ie the texts (hyperlink) are not in blue with underline. When MOUSEOVER the text also has no change in color. However, when click on the already grey hyperlink, the link does work.

The LINK, MOUSEOVER, VISITED color are done with CSS selector, also tried with CSS style sheet but result in the same problem.

Can someone help?

Have you tried the "refresh" button in IE?

Have you tried emptying your cache?

This can be perfectly normal if all those links point to anchors on the same page. Links change colour not because you have clicked on a them. It's a not a CLICKED color, but a VISITED colour.

For instance, all the following URI's can point to the same page in some situations :

http://www.someserver.net/directory/index.html
http://www.someserver.net/directory/index.html#anchor1
http://www.someserver.net/directory/index.html#anchor2
index.html#anchor3
index.html
/directory/
http://www.someserver.net/directory/

If you visit index.html#anchor5346, all the above links will change to VISITED colour.
