Summary

 Gets/sets the color of links that the user has visited in the document.

Syntax

color = document.vlinkColor
document.vlinkColor =color

Parameters

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

Notes

The default value for this property in Mozilla Firefox is purple (#551a8b in hexadecimal).

document.vlinkColor is deprecated in DOM Level 2 HTML.

The recommended alternative is to get/set the color of the CSS :visited pseudo-class on HTML anchor (<a>) links (e.g., a:visited {color:red;}).

Another alternative is document.body.vLink, although this is deprecated in HTML 4.01 in favor of the CSS alternative.
