Hi, I need some help with understanding this piece of css.
<u>This is a <a href="#" style="text-decoration:none ;">hyperlink </a> with
surrounding underlining</u>
From what I understand of css, the styling in <a> should override its
parent. But it doesnt seem to work in this case, the whole sentence is still
underlined even though I have specifically specified no text-decoration. I'm
not saying its wrong but I really cant get my head around to why this is -
is this a case exception?
Btw, this only happens with Gekko (Mozilla) and Opera which follows the W3c
recommednation properly. IE6 seems to render it as I would have expected
(with hyperlinks anyway).
Much appreciated,
Andy

I give up! Think and write positive!
I'm a very positive guy, so here's the translation:
"By the way, there might be some reason to sometimes underline normal
text (but let's get into that sometime else, 'cause you'll always find
an exception to the rule)."

Sort of. Text decoration applies to the whole element including its
children - so the value isn't inherited (and therefore cannot be
overridden) - but still has effect.
"Text decorations on inline boxes are drawn across the entire element,
going across any descendant elements without paying any attention to their
presence."
Thanks for that, does anyone knows why this decision was made? Its seems
kind of unusual. If a parent has underline, there is no way to get rid of
it. Bolds and Italic doesnt work the way underline does. Do you think its
something to do with hyperlinks default format as they are underlined.

FYI, links are not underlined by default in either CSS or HTML.
Take a gander at your browser preferences. Chances are, you'll find an
option somewhere that sets underlining default.

You are correct. I never noticed that before cause I thought it was a
standard for links to be underlined blue since Mozilla, Opera and IE6 all
does this - but they also have options to change this.

I'm running a website that uses CSS to format the text and a CGI

The text that's part of the actual HTML file is formated according to

Hi.
Can somebody tell me how I would go about allowing the user
to click on a link to put content in text box A and then another
link to put different content in text box A and so on. Finally,
when onsubmit is fired, all the content created for each individual
link (using the same text box) is sent to SQL Server.
How do I reuse the same text box in this manner?
