JS Reference for CSS

**c2k** · 07-16-2003, 03:08 PM

Hi,
I would like to change the color of the links if the user should like to. I would like to do so with JS. My problem is, that I cannot find any JS that corresponds to the A:Link, A:active, etc.

Does anyone know what the JS tag would be or does at exist?
Any clue?

Thanks for your help.

I think you are looking for CSS, not JavaScript.

Hi,
thanks for your quick reply.

No, actually I am looking for JS.

I would like to change i.e. the link color. I would like to do so by the JS function

Code:

getElementsByTagName()

Well, I need to actually "talk" to the css attribute A:link color.

Example:
To change the border color of a table for example it would be

Code:

getElementsByTagName("table")[i].style.borderColor = document.form1.textfield.value

The problem is, that I do not know how to change the links.
Thanks for you help.

Try "color" When you access an anchors style with "color" it should refer to "A:LINK { COLOR: # }"

Hi,
I got it for the link color:

Code:

documet.getElementsByTagName("a")[i].style.color = 'red'

The thing I don't know yet is how to change the color of the visited Links. Does anyone know that?
