Link Underline...WebEx February 24th, 2002, 09:29 How do you make the a link underline a different color? I know you can just change the link color, but I want to know how people make the link blue, for example and change the underline to orange, for example..... Know how? _Street_Fighter February 24th, 2002, 10:17 use this: click here (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex5/linkover.htm) meow February 24th, 2002, 10:47 Ock ock ock. If you have seen it in version 6 of IE or Opera it may be the below. Otherwise, maybe some trick with borders or in simplest case a fake underline with a 1 pixel gif. You may have to use a proper DTD to force IE6 into strict mode to render this, but have a go like this first. I don't have IE6 installed and would like to know if it works in quirk mode. The trick is that you set the underline on the div and the a's inherit it _with_ the color from the div. <html> <head> <title></title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- #nav { width: 30%; padding-left: 10px; color: #ff0000; background: #eeeeee none; text-decoration: underline } #nav a { color: #0000ff; background: transparent none } --> </style> </head> <body> <div id="nav"> <a href="yadda.html">Yadda yadda yadda yadda</a><br> <a href="yadda.html">Yadda yadda yadda yadda</a><br> <a href="yadda.html">Yadda yadda yadda yadda</a><br> <a href="yadda.html">Yadda yadda yadda yadda</a> </div> </body> </html> Dusty February 24th, 2002, 15:25 Otherwise, maybe some trick with borders or in simplest case a fake underline with a 1 pixel gif.You can use a background image to imitate an underline as well. Using that you can get the underline to change colors with the link on hover... which I guess you could do with an image underneath it, too, but it would be a lot easier. meow February 24th, 2002, 15:40 Did I misread his question? Does he want the underline to have the same color as the link? I thought he wanted one color for the text and one for the actual underline. Sheesh. :confused2 Anyway, could someone that have IE6 please check if the above works as expected as it is without a DTD? I'm curious. :p Dusty February 24th, 2002, 15:44 Did I misread his question? Does he want the underline to have the same color as the link? I thought he wanted one color for the text and one for the actual underline.Yes, he wants it a different color. If he didn't, well, matters would be greatly simplified, wouldn't they? I was just saying that if he wanted the underline to change color when the mouse is over the link (further giving the impression that it was a real underline), a background image would do. <edit> ...and all this is in regard to your comment on how to fake it, I have no idea what that other stuff you're doing is. I'll assume it's the real but ill-supported way </edit> meow February 24th, 2002, 15:50 And change the image on hover you mean? Yeah, that would work.
