7,980 PointsIf I remove "nav a:visited" the link/text stays white. Even after I clicked it. So when do and don't you have to use it?
In the video it is said that you have to use "visited" to keep the links the same color. It's not used in h1 and h2. Those stay white. But even when I removed "nav a: vistited", the text stays white after I clicked it. Bit confused when you do have to use it

12,170 PointsHey, after you remove the a:visited style from your css document, please clear your browsers cache. If you are in Chrome, that can be done by going to clear history and then checking the "cache" option. Information about visited links is stored in that, so even after you remove the style, the page may still hold that value.
Hope that helps!

8,896 PointsWhen I tried clearing cache as Andrew suggested, links still stay white even after I've clicked on them (this is after I erased the "nav a:visited" selector).
Should they be turning another color without "nav a:visited", or is something else keeping them white?
