IE was ignoring the css because the URL of the link was #, as a place-holder. IE saw this is a visited, so setting the text-decoration to a:visited fixed the issue.

See testpage <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-textdecoration-IE.htm>. With IE6 under Win98SE everything is doing fine, as in FF. Browsershots.com says: "because of a flash AddOn" (nothing flashy to see in my html!) ... IE6 under XP is crashing <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/test-underline-IE6-onXP.png> but seems o.k. for the underlines, IE7beta under XP is ok <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/test-underline-IE7b-onXP.png>, Safari is o.k. <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/test-underline-Safari.png> So my conclusion for now is: or something in XP, or a typo, or something complicating/interfering in the rest of the css or html code? Do you have a link to a page which shows your phenonenon?
