Getting hyperlink color?

KKramsch

Suppose I want to set some color to match the color of (unvisited)
hyperlinks, whatever this color may be (without explicitly setting
this color, of course). How can I specify it?

Thanks,

Karl

You cannot. Unfortunately there is no way to express such things in CSS.

If you wish to display normal text in unvisited link color, you can try
the horrendous kludge of using link markup and doing your best to prevent
it from looking and acting like a link - in all respects but the color.
But I wouldn't recommend that. You can remove underlining for example,
but only with the usual caveats, but you cannot e.g. remove the link from
tabbing order (though you can try to make it last in that order and try
to use JavaScript to prevent the link from getting focus).
