The CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) style code (look at the page source), defines the default behavior of the A tag along with two other flavors of the A tag, named "g" and "l."

The default flavor uses aqua for unvisited links and maroon for visited links.

The "g" flavor uses red for the text color when the link hasn't been visited, green for the text color when it has been visited and underlining in both cases.

The "l" flavor uses peach for unvisited, lime for visited, and no underlining in both cases.

BTW, the W3C (the World Wide Web Consortium, the international body that makes up this stuff) discourages the use of styles that are only used for a few things. The idea of styles is to define a style at the top of your web page, and then use it throughout the page. Or, better yet, throughout your site!

The following is an example of the usage. For each link, we say what class it is.

This is a default style hyperlink

This is a underlined hyperlink

This is a un-underlined hyperlink
