Can someone please explain what these terms used in the Style Sheets mean. I want to change some colors, but I don't know which ones I will be changing. Do these terms refer to the text on the page - headings, etc.?
LINK
ACTIVE
VISITED
HOVER - I assume that means that the text will change to the color I put in here when my cursor hovers over it.

this term describe a link style, i.e. text between

Code: Select all

<a ....>

and

Code: Select all

</a>

tags.

There is nothing like that on my pbase pages.
And what about ACTIVE, VISITED & HOVER?

These terms relate to hyperlinks on a webpage.
- A link is frequently text that maybe underlined and/or a specific color, that when clicked takes the user to a different webpage, etc.
- Active means what happens when the user clicks on a link with the mouse and does not yet release the button - maybe it changes color, changes in size, etc.
- Visited can be used to change the color of the link after a user clicks on the link to indicated it has already been viewed/selected.
- Hover means what happens when a user the mouse cursor over a link without clicking on the link.
