LINK
ACTIVE
VISITED
HOVER - I assume that means that the text will change to the color I put in here when my cursor hovers over it.
These terms relate to hyperlinks on a webpage.
- A link is frequently text that maybe underlined and/or a specific color, that when clicked takes the user to a different webpage, etc.
- Active means what happens when the user clicks on a link with the mouse and does not yet release the button - maybe it changes color, changes in size, etc.
- Visited can be used to change the color of the link after a user clicks on the link to indicated it has already been viewed/selected.
- Hover means what happens when a user the mouse cursor over a link without clicking on the link.
