Setting CSS pseudo-class rules from JavaScript

Question

I\'m looking for a way to change the CSS rules for pseudo-class selectors (such as :link, :hover, etc.) from JavaScript.

So an analogue of the CSS code: a:hove

Answer 1

There is another alternative. Instead of manipulating the pseudo-classes directly, create real classes that model the same things, like a "hover" class or a "visited" class. Style the classes with the usual "." syntax and then you can use JavaScript to add or remove classes from an element when the appropriate event fires.
