CSS Links

In CSS, you can style links (<a> tags) to change their appearance based on different states such as normal, hovered, active, and visited.

Basic link states

1. Normal (a): The default state of the link.

a {
    color: green; /* you can put any color value */
}

2. Visited (a:visited): When the link has been visited.

a:visited {
    color: purple;
}

3. Hover (a:hover): When the mouse is over the link.

a:hover {
    color: red;
}

4. Active (a:active): When the link is being clicked.

a:active {
    color: yellow;
}
