, etc.) or the hexadecimal value of the color (e.g., #0000FF
)

document.alinkColor
is deprecated in DOM Level 2 HTML. One alternative is the CSS selector :active
.
Another alternative is document.body.aLink
, although this is deprecated in HTML 4.01 in favor of the CSS alternative.
Gecko supports both alinkColor
/:active
and :focus
. Internet Explorer 6 and 7 support alinkColor
/:active
only for HTML anchor (<a>) links and the behavior is the same as :focus
under Gecko. There is no support for :focus
in IE.
