why do i visited links show like visited links even after refreshing the page(hover stops working once i click a link even after refreshing the page).

what can i do to stop it? even if i dont set the visited link property, it takes the browser default(purple)

You have to understand the, "LoV HA" concept - Link, Visited, Hover and Active. You have to specify your CSS rules in this order, otherwise, it won't work.

Chances are that you are missing one of the above, hence the irregularity. Go back and check your CSS and/or paste your CSS here for review.

Thanks

thanks yawa;
fixed it, yes it wasnt arranged in that order
