About <a></a> tag from HTML

When I press the link , the background of the link becomes blue for a second. How can I delete that style? I searched on the internet , but I didn't found a solution.

You can disable it using CSS. a { -tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; }

Oh , that is not good.... 😢 I found everything about how to remove the text-decoration and color of link , but I didn't found anything for background. Now I understand why. Thank you Airree !

No, you can't, it's the only indication (that can't be turned off) that this is, in fact, a link

Try this; <style> a:link {color:green; background-color:transparent; text-decoration:none} a:visited {color:pink; background-color:transparent; text-decoration:none} a:hover {color:red; background-color:transparent; text-decoration:underline} a:active {color:yellow; background-color:transparent; text-decoration:underline} </style>

You can try: a:hover {color:red; background-color:transparent; text-decoration:underline} a:link {color:green; background-color:transparent; text-decoration:none} a:visited {color:pink; background-color:transparent; text-decoration:none} a:active {color:yellow; background-color:transparent; text-decoration:underline}
