Dreamweaver Tips: removing hyperlink underlines

I've been converting over from FrontPage to Dreamweaver 8 and love the new tool.

I'm going to start identifying some of the great tips I'm learning in Dreamweaver 8.  This one can be applied to the style sheet of a blogger blog as well.

Many people do not like ot have hyperlinks in their body text displayed with the underline.  If you want to remove all underlines from your CSS - style sheet, here's how you can do it fast and easy.

Dreamweaver:

  1. go into your CSS Window and then the CSS Styles Tab, select All
  2. n the 'All Rules' window, right click anywhere and select 'New' for new style
  3. Select the Radial button for Advanced (IDs, pseudo-class selectors)
  4. in the selector drop down box, select 'a:link'
  5. also select this document only if its just for this page.
  6. click OK
  7. A pop up window will appear, make sure the Category of 'Type' is selected~this is the default
  8. Towards the bottom middle/left in the Decoration section, choose the box for 'none' and then click apply and OK
That's it, the underlines should be removed and in this local level page you'll find a new CSS section that should look like the following:
a:link {
    text-decoration: none;
}

If you want to remove links from a blogger template, just do the following steps,
Blogger Template Changes:
  1. Open your template for editing in blogger (Make a backup of your template and save it in notepad)
  2. find the a:link section in the template if it already exists
    1. If it exists change or add the section: text-decoration: none;
    2. If it does not exist add it as follows:
      1. a:link {

            text-decoration: none;

        }
  3. Preview the template to insure that the underlines are gone
  4. If everything is OK, then save template
  5. Republish entire blog
You are done!
