The above is accomplished by using pseudo classes in CSS style
rule(cascading style sheets).  You would put the following in between
your <head> and </head> elements:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
a:link { text-decoration: none; color: #000000}
-->
</style>

Again, CSS, by using the a:hover pseudo class. So, now you will have
this instead:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
a:link { text-decoration: none; color: #000000 }
a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #ffffff }
-->
</style>

The hover pseudo class is IE specific, meaning it is not active when
viewing through NS, but your document will not produce errors and
will still produce your normal html markup. Here is a work-around for
hovering in NS:
