Hi Cindy,

<<One thing to remember, that the a:hover is IE specific, so maybe that is
what you are referring to when you say "all the links are underlined in
NN", but not in IE?>>

No, its not.  The full code was on my previous message.  Pull it up in a
Netscape window and see what I am talking about.

In order not to have underlines for your links, you would use CSS (style
sheets). You previously gave ALL the code for the page contents, but
apparently this particular document *is* using style sheets, since you
mentioned it looks "fine in IE" but "all of the links are underlined in
NN4.7".

One thing to remember, that the a:hover is IE specific, so maybe that is
what you are referring to when you say "all the links are underlined in
NN", but not in IE?

An example, in your head tag:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
a:link { text-decoration: none; color: #0000CC }
a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #663366 }
a:active { text-decoration: none; color: #FF0000 }
a:hover { text-decoration: none; color: #FF0000 }
-->
</style>

For more queries or guidance on style sheets, check the Style list of
the HWG.
