Hello,

How can I get the styles of the :hover state of a link defined in a
css stylesheet?

Is it possible?

Regards

The only way I know of is to iterate through the document.styleSheets 
collection.  See quirksmode.org for cross-browser implementation 
information:

Hmm, I think the "easiest" way to do this would be rewriting the hover
effect with JS... Observe all links, if the mouse moves over them, add
a class (like .hover)... that way, it''d be easy getting the styles
from the class...

I disagree with Bram,

@bram: As web developers we should aim for progressive enhancement
only, meaning that javascript shouldn''t be used for rollovers if there
is a javascript-free alternative (:hover, in this instance).

I have never used document.styleSheets but it may be the way forward,
alternatively add an event to the rollover element that observes
''mouseover'', and getStyle() from there. It''s a bit
backwards in coming
forwards, but will solve your problem.

P.S., I''ve never done this myself, but am looking into
document.styleSheets now.

Yeah, I totally agree. I''d never do it either, it was just the only
way I could think off right off the bat...
