Quoting Roberto Castaldo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
But our challenge (for all of us who "make the Web") is to find out and
apply rules which can be useful for the largest majority of users, and we
must do it for the Web, not for other media; any Web user should be (or
become) used to reasonable Web conventions, not to books ones, problems may
occur when conventions coming from different media are scrumbled without any
kind of criterion or common sense.
That's my opinion is that underlined text CAN generate misunderstanding, and
misunderstanding with Web sites navigation should be avoided at all. So I
simply avoid underlined text, and use bold or some other typographic effect
(font size/design + color) instead.
Oh, assolutamente. I wasn't advocating use of underline itself for
older audiences - I was actually thinking about the opposite
situation: times when you *can* drop the underline, if the context
makes it clear enough that something is a link (e.g. left-hand
navigation bars).
