Hyperlinked text - how to change appearance

[Jane Here]

On my web page I have a number of links that are blue and underlined.

I want one link to look the same as the text next to it.

Example: Click here for more information.

The word "here" is a hyperlink, but I don't want it to look like a link.
Instead it should look just like the non-hyperlinked words next to it. All
other hyperlinked text on the page should behave normally.

Can I do this?

Yes, in your stylesheet, you could do something like this:

a:link {
text-decoration : none;
}

Hi Jane,

Add a class attribute to the <a> tag. CSS then can be used to remove the underline, color change, etc.


<a class="heretext" href="http://www.yoursite.com" >here</a>

IMHO, if a link looks like the rest of the text, many will get confused and
not know what or where to click.

Personally I wouldn't do that, I hate having to hunt for links on a site,
you have to make it stand out somehow.

Pseudo-classes and container styles are what you need - here are some
tutorials.

How is the user going to know it's a link if you don't indicate it as such?

I want one link to look the same as the text next to it.

This sounds very much like a PHB request.

Damn the usability, I want consistency!!!!
