# Document.vlinkColor Property

## Name

Document.vlinkColor Property---the color of visited links

## Availability

Navigator 2.0, Internet Explorer 3.0

## Synopsis

    document.vlinkColor

## Description

`vlinkColor` is a string property that specifies the color of visited links in `document`. This color is displayed for links that the user has already followed, i.e., those that reference a URL that the user has already visited.

The visited link color can be specified through the `VLINK` attribute in the `<BODY>` HTML tag, and the `vlinkColor` property will contain the specified value. The color may also be specified by assigning a value to `vlinkColor` directly, but this may only be done in the `<HEAD>` of the document, before the `<BODY>` tag is parsed.

Colors are specified either as one of the standard color names recognized by JavaScript, or as red, green, and blue color values, expressed as a string of six hexadecimal digits in the form `"``RRGGBB``"`.
