Answer 1

Even if you don't change the default color, it would still be a good idea to specify the color to ensure that it looks the same in all browsers. I'd put something like this in the stylesheet:

  color: blue;
}

a:visited, span.visited {
   color: purple;
}

a:active, span.active {
   color: red;
}

Then you can style spans as links by Your fake link
