How To Remove the Underlines From Links

By Jennifer Kyrnin, About.com

Use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to turn off the underlines on links.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 2 minutes

Here's How:

  1. Write your link <a href=""
  2. Add the style tag <style="
  3. Set the text-decoration to none text-decoration : none;
  4. Close the style tag and the anchor ">
  5. Write the link text and close the link </a>

Tips:

  1. Remember that anchors that are not underlined are hard for people to use. They don't always realize that the text is a link, even if their mouse changes.
