Okay I still see the problem with that.
I need to get the color without currently hovering over it.
I did a test where I set an onclick event to return the color of the
link.
It returns the hover color when your mouse is over but not when you
don't.
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.testMe a').click(function(){
alert($(this).css('color'));
});
$('.testMe a').click();
</script>
<style type="text/css">
.testMe a:hover{
color:#FF6633;
}
</style>
<div class="testMe">
<a>W3Schools 2</a>
</div>
