Document: vlinkColor property

The Document.vlinkColor property gets/sets the color of links that the user has visited in the document.

Value

A string representing the color as a word (e.g., "red") or hexadecimal value (e.g., "#ff0000").

When set to the null value, that null value is converted to the empty string (""), so document.vlinkColor = null is equivalent to document.vlinkColor = "".

Notes

• The default value for this property in Mozilla Firefox is purple (#551a8b in hexadecimal).
• Document.vlinkColor is deprecated in the HTML specification.
• The recommended alternative is to get/set the color of the CSS :visited pseudo-class on HTML <a> elements (e.g., a:visited {color:red;}).
