I have a mass amount of files to download listed on a Web page. When I click the link, the file downloads, but the link on my downloads page never changes colors to note that the link has been visited.
Is this a bug and is there a work around for my HTML page? Currently I'm using javascript to change link colors.
Try troubleshooting the Downloads.plist (preferences)
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Safari
Click Go
Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
Thanks for the input. I tried that, and it didn't work. It appears to work for everything else - just not download links.
Here's an example of my links:
<a href="http://cdn.setxvideo.com/001.MTS" target="new">001.MTS</a>
in my header is
<style type="text/css">
a:link {background-color:#B2FF99;} /* unvisited link */
a:visited {
background-color:#FFFF85;} /* visited link */
a:hover {background-color:#FF704D;} /* mouse over link */
a:active {background-color:#FF704D;} /* selected link */
</style>
Again, they work correctly in FireFox but not Safari.
Which Mac OS X do you have installed ? Which versoin of Safari ?
OS 10.7.4
Safari Version 5.1.6 (7534.56.5)
Visited download links don't change color (but do in FireFox)
