text-decoration underline question

[njtweb]

Is there any way to have the underline removed entirely for links in posts, maybe CSS? Normally I wouldn't mind but when hyperlinking an image it shows under them as well, text underlines I don't care but under images makes them look odd, (image attached). Thanks ahead of time to all in advance.

fix the css

The underline comes from this -

index.php

Code Select Expand



a:hover
{
text-decoration: underline;
cursor: pointer;
}



If you set text-decoration to 'none', it will remove underline from all links everywhere.  I think you'd have to create a separate class to remove it from specific items.

Do you mean index.template.php?

My index.php is only 5 lines of code.

It'll be in the css folder

should be index.css not index.php

should be index.css not index.php

^ This - /css/index.css

Thank you, after looking I found it. I made the change to "none" for that one occurrence and then dumped the file cache and did a shift + F5 but it's still the same underlined.

How many and veterans does it take to specify a filepath... apparently the answer is three.

Could you give us the entire css file - would be easier to spot it there.

Sure, no problem, here it is. Thank you

Try taking out the text decoration on a.new_win:hover.

I think that might be your culprit.

[njtweb]

I did the same thing as last. Changed underline to none, emptied cache and did Shift F5. No changes show.

Are you making your edits in the correct theme? Each of them have a CSS folder. If something is not defined in your theme I think it falls back to using the default - so it's possible you might have something more there.

ctrl f5, not shift f5

I only use the default curve theme.

I'm in Chrome, shift F5 also refreshes. I did do the cntrl F5 in FF but still all underlined.

[Kindred]

ctrl f5 is a hard refresh. shift f5 is not.


However, since you have chrome...  use the element inspector to figure out specifically what CSS is controlling the section you are concerned with and what you need to change (and how) to affect it.

Thank you, found it. It wasn't text-decoration after all. It was this. I changed the color to the same as the background. so now when it's hovered that's the only time you see the line to indicate it's a link.
