## Visited
|
||
|
|
||
|
The CSS :visited selector changes the style of a link that has been visited by a user. This selector is used to help users distinguish between links they have and have not visited.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If multiple CSS pseudo selectors are being used, the :visited selector must come after the :link selector.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In the example below, after a user clicks on a link, the text color will change from black to green.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```css
|
||
|
a {
|
||
|
color: black;
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
a:visited {
|
||
|
color: green;
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Due to user privacy reasons, the :visited selector is limited to modifying the styles of the following CSS properties:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* color
|
||
|
* background-color
|
||
|
* border-color (including border-color for separate sides)
|
||
|
* column-rule-color
|
||
|
* outline-color
|
||
|
* fill and stroke (for SVG images)
|
||
|
|
