Answer 1

Your default CSS colour for links should be:

a:link {
    color: #0f0; /* or
    color: green;
    color: rgb(0,255,0);
}

Otherwise, using jQuery, you can achieve this with:

$('a').click(
    function(){
        $('.selectedLink').removeClass('selectedLink');
        $(this).addClass('selectedLink');
        return false
    });

Coupled with the CSS:

.selectedLink {
    color: #00f;
}
