Document: linkColor property

Deprecated

Avoid using this feature in new projects. Document color attributes are superseded by CSS. This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.

Consider using the following features instead: background-color, Color, CSS object model, or getComputedStyle().

The Document.linkColor property gets/sets the color of links within the document.

This property is deprecated. As an alternative, you can set the CSS color property on either HTML anchor links (<a>) or on :link pseudo-classes.

Value

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

When set to the null value, that null value is converted to the empty string (""), so document.linkColor = null is equivalent to document.linkColor = "".

Examples

js
document.linkColor = "blue";

Specifications

Specification
HTML
