Overriding hyperlink style

[essjay_d12]

How do you override the default style of a hyperlink?

One, i do not want the underline

2, I want the colour that my style sheet tells it it should be.

At the moment it's changed to a blue underline link.

a, a:visited {color: #987654; text-decoration: none;}

The a, a:visited selector sets the succeding styles to be applied to both normal links & visited links.
The color: property sets the color of the hyperlink (see: Supported Color's (http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colors.asp)),
and the text-decoration: property sets as to what style of text decoration (or underline) style - which in our case the value is set to none

Use pcthug script for the link color(s) and this to remove the “underline” for the link:

<style type="text/css">
<!--

A:link {text-decoration: none;}
A:visited {text-decoration: none;}

-->
</style>
