Introduction
The <body> vlink attribute in HTML was used to define the color of visited links on a webpage. It helped in customizing link appearance to enhance user experience. However, this attribute is now deprecated in HTML5, and CSS is recommended for styling links.
In this article, you will learn about the vlink attribute, its syntax, usage, and the modern alternatives for styling visited links in HTML.
Definition and Usage
Visited links are the ones that a user has already clicked on. By default, browsers use a purple color for visited links, but with `vlink`, you can customize this color to match your website’s design.
The `vlink` attribute is used inside the `<body>` tag of an HTML document. It works alongside other link-related attributes like `link` (for unvisited links) & `alink` (for active links). Let’s see how you can use it:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>vlink Example</title>
</head>
<body vlink="green">
<h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>
<p>Here are some links:</p>
<a href="https://example.com">Example Link 1</a><br>
<a href="https://example.org">Example Link 2</a><br>
<a href="https://example.net">Example Link 3</a>
</body>
</html>
Output
In this example, the `vlink` attribute is set to "green". This means that once a user clicks on any of the links, the color of those links will change to green.
Why Use `vlink`?
1. User Experience: It helps users keep track of the links they’ve already visited, making navigation easier.
2. Customization: It allows you to align the link colors with your website’s theme.
3. Consistency: It ensures that visited links look consistent across different browsers.
