Question

Is it possible to keep the color on a link with a class while other links do change.

For example I have a theme but i want it to support different colors set by the user.

Most links change color on :hover but some must stay the same color.

#red is generated by the theme. I want to ‘inherit’ the a.someclass:link color in the a.someclass:hover

example:

a:link
{
  color: #red;
}
a:hover {
  color: #black;
}

The above part is generated which I cannot alter.

As suggested in answers and comments below I need to build this with jQuery

sure I can copy #red to the a.someclass:hover {} but then i have to hardcode the color and since the user should be able to change the color that is not an option.

I need something to overide the a:hover { color } if the class is someclass

As suggested by @danferth and @maxisam here is my jQuery solution
I’ve written to make this work:

$(document).ready(function(){
   // getting the color before the color is changed ( not sure this is needed )
  var thecolor = $('.article-title').css("color");
  $(".article-title").mouseover(function() {
    // setting the color previously picked
    $(this).css({'color':thecolor});
  });       
});

where .article-title is the class of the links I want to alter
