One thing you must consider, too, is that on the web, you should only underline something that is an actual link, so you must find other ways to accomplish the intent of your cites. You may need to use quotes instead, except that book titles are not quoted. In APA style, book titles are italicized. Easy enough. Newspapers? Italicized. Magazines? Italicized.
In fact, based on this article... http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/02/ ...if you do not have the option of underlining and inline citation, you may italicize. You may need to contact the APA for more direction as to styling cites for the web.
