HTML body vlink Attribute
 HTML <body> tag
Definition and Usage
The vlink attribute specifies the color of the visited links for a page.
When a link has been used/visited earlier, the color changes to indicate that the
link has been visited.
Compatibility Notes
The vlink attribute of the body element was deprecated in HTML 4.01
and is not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD.
Use CSS instead.
CSS syntax (in <head>): <style>a:visited {color: #00FF00}</style>
In our CSS tutorial you can find more details about the
:visited pseudo-class.
