In your stylesheet, add something like:

a:href { text-decoration:none; }

That'll remove underlining, etc. But you need to make sure users will still
be able to see that it's a link. Use bold text, a different, contrasting
color (don't forget colorblind users!), or something!

I think it has to be like this:

a:link { text-decoration:none; }

Yeah, I've been doing the a:href thing all night long and I don't know why.
Blegh. Tired. :/

a:link { text-decoration:none; }

Or:

a[href] { text-decoration:none; }

(although my version won't work in IE... grumble, grumble...)

a:link { text-decoration:none; } in your style sheet, as others have said.

For more information on using pseudoclasses to style links, this tutorial at Project Seven is good:

Hope that helps.

It does work. Don't you remember visiting the page?

In your case, since you've been there, you need a:visited as well.

There's also a:hover and a:active, btw.

That didn't work for me in IE 5.5 or IE 6.0. I have to use this:
a: {text-decoration:none;}

Anyone know why the standard a:link doesn't work in these versions of
IE?

It does. Exlanations:

1). Your links are not links (for instance, no value for HREF is
specified) -- they can still be anchors though.
2). Your links are all visited and hence in visited state that you
specified elsewhere.
3). Something else in your CSS is overriding it. Also, keep a check on
the the natural order of pseudo-selectors for anchors: a, a:link,
a:visited, a:focus, a:hover, a:focus.

If you give a URL I will be happy to investigate.
