How to remove anchor text underline?

    Can anyone tell me how to remove the line that appears under hot linked words (or anchor text)? I edit my website in Dreamweaver and sometimes the line shows up and sometimes it doesn't, so I would like to know how to change the code. Does anyone here know the code for that? More importantly, does anyone know what the heck I'm even talking about... ;) ...

    assuming you are using css or style sheets check this out. You will want to set the text-decoration attribute for your anchor elements. http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_text_text-decoration.asp

    Something like this:

    a:link {color: #00ff00;}
    a:active {color: #0000ff;}
    a:visited {color: #ffffff;}
    a:hover {color: #000000; text-decoration: none; }

    would remove the line when the mouse pointer hovers over the text.

    I was curious if this has worked with the others. Anyone ever tried removing the underline from adsense text links?

    Would appreciate for a code in WP

    .Link {
    font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size:12px;
    font-weight: bold;
    }

    a.Link:link { text-decoration:none; color:#3C5AA2;}
    a.Link:visited{ text-decoration:none; color:#3C5AA2;}
    a.Link:hover{ text-decoration:none; color:#FFA74F;}

    If you want this to act as expected, the order of the selectors is important. Put the selectors in this order: 
    
a:link {}
a:visited {} /*:link and :visited are mutually exclusive, so precedence doesn't 
               matter, but for consistency, act as if it does*/
a:focus {}   /*not supported by IE, so is seldom used*/
a:hover {}
a:active {}
    Code (markup):
    A study of selector precedence rules will make the reasons obvious.

    cheers,

    gary

    I dont think the order is important.

    I'm using that exact CSS on blacksburgpoker.com

    My css file is in the root directory and called style.css


    All the links (in the content area) use the above Link format.

    Cheers,

    I didn't know that it matters (i guess i was luckily using the right format)

    What are link focus and active?

    Well, Adsense ads have their own style sheet if you are interested in looking at their styles. But it's against terms to make any changes to the ad display.
