Creating links without underlines
Although underlines help us to identify links on web pages, there are some instances where you may want to remove underlines from certain links. It's easy to achieve this effect using "Cascading Style Sheets" (CSS).
Removing underlines from selected links
If you want to remove underlines from certain links, but not all links on a page, simply add
STYLE="text-decoration: none" to the
tag starting the link. Example:
-
Before (regular link):
<a href="http://www.chami.com/tips/">
Sample Link
