HTML body alink Attribute

Definition and Usage

The alink attribute specifies the color of the active links for a page.
When a link is activated (clicked), the color changes to indicate that the link has been activated. This is called an active link (or in this case, alink).
The active link color is seldom noticeable unless the target frame of the link is a new/different frame.

Compatibility Notes

The alink attribute of the body element was deprecated in HTML 4.01 and is not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD.
Use CSS instead.
