You can take the example of google..The link which I visited(means vlink) appears to be in somewhat purple color and the link which I haven't in blue color..right Then what is this active link?

Priya Linge · Answer

Hi, No, ALINK means "An Active Link" color of link while it is being followed. VLINK means "A Visited Link" color of link after it has been followed. Please check this, http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/document/_BODY_TEXT.html Thanks.

Hi Priya, I am confused,you said vlink change the color of link you have previously visited and alink sets the color of links as you click on them(means they are also visited)..so both alink and vlink seems same to me.

Priya Linge · Answer

Hi, 1.LINK : LINK which sets the color of links you haven't followed . 2.VLINK : VLINK which sets the color of links you have followed . The vlink attribute allows you to change the color of all links to pages that have previously been visited. 3.ALINK : ALINK which sets the color of links as you click on them .
