Removing Link Underlines

[SoloCDM]

What is needed to remove the underline in web page links? Do I need
to change the color or is it something in the tag <a>?

In HTML documents you could use the following in the head of your document:

<style type="text/css">
a { text-decoration: none; }
</style>

I wouldn't recommend it though since people are used to underlined links.

That's a very nice document, and _if_ one really wants to remove
underlines then one couldn't ask for a better explanation.

But, Solo, please consider long and hard whether you really want to
do that. Consider <http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/www/links.html>.

There can be some page designs where it is legitimate not to
underline links, say in a menu of distinctive appearance. But just
arbitrarily to remove underlining from links in page text, that's
usually a mistake.

You could do this to aviod CSS

<a href="link.htm" style="text-decoration:none ">

Ok, you're crazy. ;-) You're also correct.

I meant you could just put in a regular HTML page without creating a css document.

You mean a separate CSS file? David's solution also does that, and you only
have to specify it once for the page, rather than on every anchor tag. Then
again, if you create a separate CSS file, you only have to do it once for
the entire site - even better! :-)
