Summary
Gets/sets the color of links that the user has visited in the document.
Syntax
color = document.vlinkColor document.vlinkColor = color
Parameters
coloris a string representing the color as a word (e.g., "red") or hexadecimal value (e.g., "#ff0000").
Notes
The default value for this property in Mozilla Firefox is purple (#551a8b in hexadecimal).
document.vlinkColor is deprecated in DOM Level 2 HTML.
The recommended alternative is to get/set the color of the CSS :visited

Another alternative is document.body.vLink, although this is deprecated in HTML 4.01 in favor of the CSS alternative.
