: Text-decoration under anchor tag I have this snippet: <p><a href="http://www.example.com">Link to example site.</a> </p> a:link{ color:green; text-decoration:none; } a:visited{

@Harper822

The text-decoration has to be the same on every type of link.
Look at this question from stackoverflow.com

When you remove your text-decoration:none from a:link, a:visited would be underlined.

The functionality of :visited pseudoclass has been restricted in many modern browsers (Fx4, IE9, Chrome) to prevent CSS exploit. You can read about it here, but the crux is:


For many years the CSS :visited selector has been a vector for querying a user’s history. It’s not particularly dangerous by itself, but when it’s combined with getComputedStyle() in JavaScript it means that someone can walk through your history and figure out where you’ve been.
