"Now that we have our link color set, I'm going to go ahead and show you how to change the color on the active link or Alink. And, basically what this is is that's the color of the link when it's doing an action. It's being active. So, right now it's just a link. It's pink. And, we can go in and let's say that we want it to change to purple when there's an action going on with the link itself. And, so after in our body bracket after text background color and link we're going to type again and create something called an Alink. That stands for active link. And, then equal the quotations and a purple color nine-nine-zero-zero FF. And, end quote. We'll save that. Go over here, refresh your page. And, the link is still pink because we haven't done anything yet. But, we click on the link you'll see it real fast it turned purple. And, now it's purple again. Because, it’s been visited. And, that's the default visited link for this computer. But, up next I'll show you how to change that color too."
