HI everyone,

I would like to have the unvisited link with a color, without underline.

and the visited link grey, without underline , with > in front and < in the back

I tried few thing without success:

[CODE lang="css" title="CSS"]a:link {
color: red;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
color:green;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
color:#888888;
text-decoration-line: none;
}
a:visited::after {
content: "<"
}[/CODE]


Thanks

What is working and what isn't? Does nothing work?

I would recommend first get the style for the visited link working on all the links, so you get the arrow placement correct. Then, take that code you know works and get the logic for visited / unvisited working. Then style your unvisited link as desired.

Thank you @Mutiny

So
[CODE lang="css" highlight="3,6" title="Highlighted = not working"]a:visited {
color:#888888;
text-decoration-line: none;
}
a:visited:after {
content: "<"
}[/CODE]

The color work, but the links are still underlined, and I do not have the < after...

As the
text-decoration-line: none
or
text-decoration: none

have both no effect on the visited I use this ->

[CODE lang="css" title="CSS"]a:visited {
color:#888888;
text-decoration: underline #Color_of_My_background
}[/CODE]

no the best but it "hide" the underline

No rest to add the > < ...

To remove the underline, text-decoration: none; should do the trick. Maybe it's being overwritten? You might need to add an !important, like text-decoration: none !important;.

Also, for the before and after content, you may need to make the parent link position: relative, then make the before and after elements position absolute and position the arrows as desired. You may also have to add additional padding left and right of the link so the arrows do not overlap other links.
