HTML tag style="text-decoration: none" doesn't wor

I am designing a website and I'm used to using the standard <b>style="text-decoration: none"</b> tag to keep IE from making links underlined. Unfortunately, this doesn't work in Firefox.

Does anyone know of an alternate tag to keep links from being underlined? Seems like a simple fix, huh?

Thanks,

Jason

It works for me. Which element are you putting the style attribute on, the anchor itself or some crazy span business?

I was using the crazy span business. <b>just tried the css version and it works perfectly</b> on one website. going to test it on another one now... thank you!

You can add other properties to the styles like font-weight, font-family, background, and so on.

Assign class names to have different links do different things.

Maybe you want one group of links to be underlined on hover:
<style type="text/css">

</style>

Add class="deco" to the <a> tag of the link you want to underline on hover:

Code: Select all

<a href="someurl" class="deco">Link Here</a>

You get the idea.
