These attributes control the colors of the different link states:
LINK - initial appearance â default = Blue
VLINK - visited link â default = Purple
ALINK - active link being clicked â default = Red
Many web developers will set the link colors of their documents to flow
with the color scheme of the site. The format for setting these attributes is:
<BODY BGCOLOR=â#FFFFFFâ TEXT=â#FF0000â LINK=â#0000FFâ
VLINK=â#FF00FFâ ALINK=âFFFF00â>
The results of the above BODY element would be a white background with
links being blue, visited links as magenta and active links colored in yellow.
