I want my links to look the same as the surrounding text. Can I do that
without explicitely specifying the color to be used? What I'd really
want to do, is disable the automatic override in links, specifically for
the color, and just inherit the original color.
The next appears to work on Firefox, but not in MSIE:
a.plain {
text-decoration: none;
color: inherit;
}
Is there a way that will work on the common browsers?
p.s. In case you want to know why: I'm making a user interface in HTML,
where a) most of the text on a page is a link, and b) The user will soon
enough have visited almost every link anyway, and still keep on using
it. So there really is no use at all for the clown pants effect.

Colors are set by default by the UA. You set the a element, but the rule
of cascade means a:link will overrule, and that's what's blue, you see.
If you use -- a:link.plain, a:visited.plain, a:hover.plain, a:active.plain
{style} -- it should work.

Same effect: works in Firefox, not in MSIE 5.5/6.0

Post a URL to a test case. It is possible you've set something in IE (I
know some browsers allow this, not sure about IE) which will override
author style sheets with regard to links. Otherwise, there's something
else wrong. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
