HTML tip needed for url links (aesthetic)
Hi. I am playing around with HTML at the moment, and would like my links to appear in the same way they do in TBB posts. They are not underlined until you put your cursor over them, and then they go all underlined. How would you produce this effect with HTML? I have tried viewing the source, but in is like trying to find a needle in a haystack (stylesheets have been used).
The kind of links I am talking about look this one (for TBB).
Cheers
Joe

tusk and darkson both tried to explain to me how to show a link under a different name on other sites for like a month, they finaly gave up and said "just click edit on this post and look at it" (a mod edited my post to show me) so i'd ask either darkson or majortusk, i think either could tell you, or i'm sure someone will wander in and say something
(can anyone tell i have nothing to do at work today )

Cheers.
I have found searching on Google for very specific little bits of HTML code can be frustrating. Tutorials tend to focus more on wide sweeping, broad topics. Asking here is gonna be quicker than searching through a load of 10 page tutorials. Plus, I am lazy!

My css file for my work page has the following in it:

Not to harsh on evil git, but as a counterpoint...Evil Git wrote:this is something i've used. basically you can change other attributes in there as well like the curser when you hover over a link or different size so that it's bigger when you hover over it, things like that.
I personally hate it when links change sizes on hover and the whole paragraph has to reflow. Drives me bonkers.
I really like a relatively nice background color change, however. Looks pretty sharp, so long as it's not too gaudy.
There's just a gazillion cool little things you can do with CSS. Well worth learning, as you'll end up saving yourself a whole lot of time if you do any amount of coding and updating.

i hate that too, but well some people somewhere probably like it.

have you tried the tutorial things on geocities to get you started. there all you do is pick what type of background you want, add the content and it does it all for you. alternatively you could always have a word and i can see what i can get done.

Cheers for the offer, but firstly I need some content, then a webspace, then the willpower!
