It is use to styling the link which we write in html ancor tag.

 

Syntax -

a:link_state{write any tag according to need like color, font, background, etc}

 

It is use to style a link that how it will look when

  • not visited to the link,
  • when visited to the link,
  • when hover to the link 
  • when anyone click on the link.

 

When write the css link code then, some rules need to follow:

  • a:hover MUST come after a:link and a:visited
  • a:active MUST come after a:hover

 

The four links states are:-

  • a:link - a normal, unvisited link.
  • a:visited - a link visited by user.
  • a:hover - a link hover by user over it.
  • a:active - a link the moment it is clicked by user.

 

For example -

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <title>technical sumit</title>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <style>
    a:link {
      color: red;
      background: white;
    }

    a:visited {
      color: green;
    }

    a:hover {
      color: hotpink;
      background-color: yellow;
      text-decoration: underline overline;
    }

    a:active {
      color: blue;
    }
