how do I take the underlining off links in frontpage 2000?

[Guest]

I am working on my website which is terribly outdated and I want to create
text hyperlinks that are not underlined. I have searched all over frontpage
2000 and I can't find a way to stop the underlining. please help someone!

In code, just before </head> insert:

<style>
a {text-decoration:none }
</style>

Note that this will apply to *all* hyperlinks on your page.

However if you do have a link on the page that you want underlined, then click the underline (U) on
the button bar menu when use the code provided below by Dan L.

If you are using CSS, put the

a {text-decoration:none}

on the style sheet, attach the style sheet to all the pages on the web (can
be done with a click of the mouse), and you will remove the underlines from
all the hyperlinks on the whole site.

Dan L- I put this where you said to and when i saved it and went to normal
view and preview mode there was a blank page- nothing showed up at all, no
text, no tables, no pictures. I am confused why this happened- any insight?

Provide a url to a page where you have included the code and get the
behavior you describe. You probably deleted something by accident or put the
code in the wrong place. It can easily happen when you are editing and are
not familar with HTML.

Cheryl, the URL is www.cathysanders.com. Looks like she's using frames.

I'm really used to recognizing text links by their underlining. I'm fairly comfortable
mousing over graphics to discover links. I'm not going to mouse over every line of text in
hopes of discovering a link. Are you going to provide a clue that the text is a link?

You are right that she is using frames, and should view them in Firefox
because the top frame is the wrong size. I won't comment any further about
page issues.

None of the frames on that page have the style code you supplied which is
what I asked her to provide because properly written, in the correct
location the behavior she described should not be occuring with the code you
gave her.

Dan- I am creating a new site I know my other one is way outdated and hokey
so this one is using tables instead of frames, I still was not able to get
the underlines off. I did make the hyperlinks the same color as the rest of
the text though and that looks better at least. I created hover buttons for
my main page links and I guess I won't worry about the rest. Thanks anyway

Cathy,

Please don't use hover buttons. They require java and many people do not
have java installed on their systems. The licensing agreement between Sun
and Microsoft expired which means it is not longer installed by default on
Windows computers. People have to go and get, then install the Sun version.
Most don't, even those who purchased machines with the Java Virtual Machine
installed frequently remove it. I know I did because it negatively impacts
the performace of my computer and can be a security risk.

Also, hyperlinks that are the same color as the page text are hard for
people to recognize as links.
