Has no-one mentioned 'inherit' yet? This is the normal CSS2 way to make
a property take its parent's computed value:
a:link {
text-decoration: none;
color: inherit;
}
The slight snag - natch - is that this doesn't work on IE. However you
can use a JScript expression hack to duplicate the behaviour:
a:link {
text-decoration: none;
color: inherit;
color: expression(this.parentNode.currentStyle.color);
}
If you want to validate the CSS, you could hide the 'expression' rule in
a separate style in a conditional comment, or something, I suppose.
