By default, HTML hyperlinks are underlined. However, if you wish to deactivate this feature and display your hyperlinks as non-underlined text, you can do so using the CSS.
This article will walk you through the necessary steps.
Display Non-Underlined Links Using CSS
To remove the underline from HTML links, simply enter the following code in the CSS:
<style type="text/css">
a.nounderline:link
{
text-decoration:none;
}
</style>N.B. Pseudo-class: link allows you to target only the hyperlinks (<a href=””>) and anchors (<a name=””>) and is not compulsory.
Display Non-Underlined Links Using CSS Via a Class
If you want the style to apply to particular links, simply define a specific class for links that you wish not to be underlined. You may do so using the following code:
<style type="text/css">
a.nounderline: link
(
Text-decoration: none;
)
</ style>
<style type="text/css">
a.nounderline:link
{
text-decoration:none;
}
</style>Display Non-Underlined Links Using CSS Online
Finally, if you do not want to define a style sheet, you can simply set the style online with the following style attribute:
<a href="/" style="text-decoration:none">Text of link</a>
