IE 7 links colour CSS problem

Question

Hi people,

I am working on this site and encountered the following problem when i opened on IE 7.

Case I am seeing default windows colours for the links. (Blue for unvisited and purple for unvisited links) because the "Use windows Colours has been enabled". I have looked at the LoVe HAte concept too. I am not using them.
I also tried to "Disable Changing IE’s Link Color Settings" in gpedit.msc Still no solution

Problem I want to use my own colours for the webpages (white) which has been set in my CSS. It works fine on all other browsers. Help me to override these colours (blue and purple) with my own colour (white).

I want to fix this problem using my CSS or anything related to code

The link colour will not change anytime. It will always be white. Please help me out.

Thanks a lot

It's simple. IE doesn't understand inherit property. And we have two variants

1. IE hack to maintain inherit

color: inherit; 
//color: expression(this.parentNode.currentStyle['color']);

2. to change

a {
 text-decoration:none;
 color:inherit;
}

a:hover {
 cursor:pointer;

}

to

a {
 text-decoration:none;
 color:#fff; // any color
}

a:hover {
 cursor:pointer;
 color:#fff; // any color
}
