title: jquery .css a:link of a jquery object
body: <p>I want to use the jQuery.css() property to color property of a link. The straightforward way would be to use</p>
  
  <pre><code>var $el = $("#test a:link"); //don't want to use this
  $el.css({"color"  : "red"});
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I already have $el defined and used in multiple other places as</p>
  
  <pre><code>var $el = $("#test"); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can I still access the a:link a:visited a:hover a:active properties by reusing $el combined with some other code?</p>
  
     <pre><code>($el/*other code to access a:link of #test*/)
  .css({"color"  : "red"});
  </code></pre>
