I'm puttng together a website for a client, and have run across a little problem. Previous experience tells me I can bang my head for a looong time with little things like this. I've added active e-mail links and given them a lime color. When previewed, the underlining is a bright blue! blah! any suggestions on how to avoid this? Don't mind the layout, headings, backgrounds and images are not in place yet.

I am imagining it is a browser bug, but to get rid of the underline place this line in your css
Code:a:link, a:hover, a:active, a:visited { text-decoration: none; }
Supporting mkeefe's suggestion!
Thank you!
that makes me really want to learn why that makes sense, because to me it's "greek".
I get the fact that it says whether you hover over the link, whether it's visited or not, don't decorate!. - but why a? and why are the "clammers" where they are? what does it all mean??? ok, now my little head hurts. A link to better understanding of what I'm doing would be greatly appreciated.

emm,
You can also use CSS:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
a {text-decoration: none; }
-->
</style>
Place this in between the <head> </head> section of your html.

thank you so much, Doug. Being a total html ignorant, this page should be good help overall. Today I'm struggling with a drop-down menu.

yes, ricardo, I was just wondering about that; why is it that traditionally we're tought that screen can show more colors than print, while when making websites you get this very limited "yucky" color range to work by? No fun.
Thanks Doug, I'll certainly dig into it. I've been trying to include this menu into my site: link but I just ended up making a mess of everything. I want that function with my design, but I think I started in the wrong end. Maybe I should just edit the images on their examplepage to fit my layout so that all the coding is intact from the beginning. *sigh* ok. it's lunch. Thanks again doug, now I have something to read with my lunch.
