try this CSS

add this section to <head>
<style>

</style>

and for the text, add this between them
<span class="du">Underline text with dash</span>

Does that really work?

All I got were links with an underline plus a slash through it?

oh hang on is this mandatory:

and for the text, add this between them
<span class="du">Underline text with dash</span>

?

it will work except what she wants is to underline a word like "go-to-earth". it will be more simple, just add "text-decoration: underline" property.

no no no. You guys dont understand. I think she means the underline under the link to be dashed. I've also seen this done and would like to know how.

if it is what she means, you must consider the text as block level element since there is no dashed underline in css standard thus enabling this css to work:

<style>

</style>

and try to find what is browser's ouput when you write this html file:

<html>
<head>
<style>

</style>
<body>
<span class="dashed">
TEsty
</span>
</body>
</html>
