But a solved problem: /* user.css */ a:link, a:visited { margin-right: 0.3em !important; margin-left: 0.3em !important; padding-right: 0.5em !important; padding-left: 0.5em !important; background-color: #FFFFCC !important; border: 0.1em solid red !important; /* Adjust to suit taste, if you need to have your visual links distinguished from each other */ } Now, you can point out that this functionality is not EASY to install in a browser -- but that is the fault of the browsers for not allowing basic CSS tricks like this to be easily bundled and placed into a user style sheet. --Kynn > -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain http://idyllmtn.com Author, CSS in 24 Hours http://cssin24hours.com Inland Anti-Empire Blog http://blog.kynn.com/iae
