Neat CSS Trick of the day January 30th 2000!

Ace Nova's CSS Trick of the Day:

Text-Decoration

Most people use the text-decoration attribute for removing underlines from links and its done doing this:

text-decoration: none

Thats the most widely know attribute. The other attributes are underline, line-through, blink(only works in NS), inherit(uses the same value as the parent element, wont explain that now) and one more attibute. Underline, and Line-Through are common, they have their own tag, <u> and <strike>.

The overline attribute. It is an effect only available through the use of CSS. It renders a line at the top of the text. Example:

<p style="text-decoration: overline">This is Overline Text</p>

Have a Nice Day!:)

OOPS! December 30th not January 30th.

cool tip

I'm of the opinion that anything with a line above or below it is special: in this case (the Web), a link. Call me Jakob Nielsen but the Web doesn't need overlines and imagemaps and Java and Flash and Javascript and snazzy colors, nor any neat tricks like these.

Argh, not another Nielsen supporter! Even FourthDev had a link mouseover effect. :P

Oh no.. another Nielsen-ite...

If it was up to him the web would be nothing but text... no thanks.. I can read a book if I have to.

I go to the web for other things
