I'm creating a page with some links to outside pages...I'm using e.g. <a href=&quot; Is there anyway that this link not be underlined? I can change the color properties of the links but can't get rid of the line. On some pages I've seen where a link is underlined and after a user rolls over it, a line appears under it. Is there a way to do this in HTML?
Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Jeevenze,

you should use CSS and define the &quot;TEXT-DECORATION&quot; properties
example:
<html>
<head>
<style>
A:hover {}
.myLink
{
TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<A href=&quot; class=&quot;myLink&quot;>This is my link</A>
</body>
</html>

to do the rolls over effect, just add
.myLink:hover
{
TEXT-DECORATION: underline
}


hope this helps, Chiu Chan

Note, however, that the :hover attribute is not supported by NS 4.7 or less. Tracy Dryden
