I have this common statement in my code

<body link="#FFFF00" vlink="#FFFF00" alink="#FFFF00">

Web Expression 4 highlight the code with a message ‘The World Wide Web Consortium now regards the attributes as outdated. Newer constructs are recommended.’

Unfortunately it doesn’t give me any more information.

What code do I need to make it up to date?

    You shouldn’t embed styling within the structure of HTML – that’s why you are getting the message. It’s been quite a while that a separation between the document structure and how it looks has been accepted as a good thing – style goes into CSS.

    To resolve the issue, use CSS.

    For links you should style the a element with the pseudo classes for link, visited and active:

    a:link, a:visited, a:active {
    color: #FFFF00;
}
