Title bar in multiscreen HTML 5 SSL output is appearing as a blue visited link and should not

We upgraded from RoboHelp 9 to RoboHelp 11.   The title bar in multiscreen HTML 5 SSL output is appearing as a blue visited link and should not.  I cleared the cache and it's still there on all the topics. In Chrome, I highlighted the title bar in the Multiscreen HTML5 output, right clicked, and selected Inspect Element.  This is the code:


<a href="../Welcome/Welcome_to_Track-It_Technician_Client.htm" class="homelink">.  The "homelink" class did not appear in our previous RH 9 WebHelp.


I see the homelink in the main.css stylesheet,but I don't see where I can change the color of the visited link.  The title should remain white on a dark blue background.

a.homelink {

            border:none;

            text-decoration:none;

            color:#ffffff;

}

a.homelink:hover {

                  text-decoration:none;

}

It's nice to be able to click the title and get back to the home page, but it's not necessary.  And the blue on blue in the title bar is illegible.

I used the "Theme1_Standard" Responsive layout with some customizations.  I decreased the font size of title and decreased the line height of the headertable.

The default screen profile is Desktop.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks.

Hi Willam,

Thanks very much for the code.  However, I found the root of the problem.  For some reason a few of the topics had the highlighted code below.  I removed it, and now the title bar is showing correctly in white, and the link is still active, which is what we want.

We really appreciate your help.

If you add

a:homelink:visited { color#ffffff !important; }

to the CSS it should work.

Kind regards,

Willam
