(1) In pre- version 4 browsers, this is TOTALLY up to the user. (2) W/CSS, the author *can* override all user controls, but do so at your own risk. POINT: Hypertext = Underline. This is a user interface issue. When you screw around w/user interfaces because you want to make things conform to *your* version of "pretty" -- you run the risk of making your site difficult/impossible for others to use. This relates to colors of visited/not-visited links as well as underlines. If YOU don't like 'em, turn them off in your own browser. Your end users can/will do the same. BTW, they can set their own colors too. And graphics used as links do not provide "user feedback" -- ie, they don't change color to show the user that the link has been visited. And "text" turned into graphics is a waste of bandwidth, IMNOHO. kathy > Kathy E.
