how to override a browser's link color settings
Is there a way to override a browser's active and visited link color settings? I had them set to purple and blue on my browser. I set them to yellow and white on my html page, but the browser overrode those settings and it so the links showed up as purple and blue and looked really bad.

If any view has his colors set like that then he's not gonna see my page as I intended.

Any ideas?

That is a risk that you take with the current browsers where you can set your own colors, fonts, sizes and stylesheets to use instead of the one the site author intended. As fas as I know I don't think you can override the browser unless possibly you do it through stylesheets but I am still not sure even then.

In other words - you can't override user's stylesheet. Thou check with securityfocus - may be there's some 'feature' in msie
