Is there any way to remove the default highlighting/underlining of a hyperlink? Making it "hidden" in effect.

Thanks in advance!

Insert this in between your head tags:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
a:active { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; text-decoration: none }
a:link { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; text-decoration: none }
a:visited { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; text-decoration: none }
-->
</style>

Hope that helps. :)

Thanks for the help, mj :)

Would there be any way to do this inside the body of the text?For when you don't have control over what's contained in the HEAD of the document. (i.e., forums)

Thanks! :D

Try this:

<body link="#000000" vlink="#000000" alink="#000000">

<p><a href="http://www.hello.com" style="text-decoration: none">hello</a></p>

</body>

Hope that one helps do what you want. :D

It's probably not the best way to do it but since you stated that you don't have access to your head then try that. What forum software are you using? I might be able to help you edit the head so you can use CSS which is the best way to do it!

Ah, yes, a friend had mentioned CSS too!

The forums are the Infopop UBB.Threads.

Ohh ok... Well I have never used that forum system but usally they use php includes or something for putting the head, body, and foot togeather so I would look for a file called header or something (that is if your hosting your own forum) and it should have the head stuff and then you can just add that code I gave you on my first post. ;)

Ah, that's the problem - it's not my forum :(

Would your second piece of code work, perhaps?

The only way will be if they allow you to use HTML, and if so, you can use something like this:

<a href="http://www.w3c.org" style="color: black; text-decoration: none; cursor: default;">W3C</a>

Ah, that should do it :)

Thanks very much to both of you :D
