Hi all Earlier this month when Donna presented the problem regarding followed links (vlink) colour, I threw down the challenge to allow users to customize colour selection. For a solution see http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Chebucto/webmaster/vLink.htm I've only tested this with Internet Explorer 5. The underlying function can be adapted to modify bgColor and other BODY attributes.
