CSS -- how do I get no style at all

HTML & CSS
1

I have some links in my webpage and I don’t want them to have any color or text-decoration at all. Basically I want the browser to make the word a link, but that is all. I don’t want it to fool with anything else in the display. How do I do this?

I know that I can set style=“text-decoration:none” but I can’t set color=none. I don’t want to actively set the color to black because I am not sure that the text would normally have been black. Basically, the text could be any color and I want the link to leave the text color alone.

Please help me. Thanks.

You could set a psuedo-class tag for whatever the colors used are going to be.:slight_smile:

a { color: inherit; }

Should do the trick.

Hi,

Although blufives answer is correct unfortunately IE (and some versions of opera) do not correctly implement this. Mozilla is fine with it though :).

Your only real option is to color each link specifically (assuming that your layout allows this).

Knew I should have tested a bit more widely. Curses be upon IE for being useless. Opera seems to be fine from version 7 onwards, at least, which is the vast majority of opera users as far as I can tell.
