    Default Resetting "Visited" links to "links" color when new browser opens

    HELP! This should be simple, but I can't find info:

    In using CSS for font color for text hyperlinks, I have mine set so that the
    "links" are a certain color (we'll say blue), but the "visited" color is a
    second color (let's say gray).

    In other words, you open a browser window, load the site, and the links are
    blue UNTIL you click on them, then gray thereafter to indicate they've been
    visited. All well and good.

    The problem is, I want the COLOR of the "visited" links to reset so that on
    a subsequent visit to that website, the color of the text hyperlinks resets
    to "links" color (blue) instead of remaining gray (the "visited" color).

    I thought this was a quirk of IE, but can't find any settings (advanced or
    otherwise) that speak to a "reset" function. In other words, I don't know
    what it is in the browser's code that "marks" a particular piece of
    hypertext as unvisited (blue) or visited (gray).

    I must be missing something

    THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP!

    I don't think you can do anything about it - once a user has visited a site,
    it stays visited until their history is cleared (either automatically or
    manually). I don't think you have any control over it.
