link style, the lines

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

hmmm, this feels weird asking but it doesn´t show as what I want it to.
I just need some selected links to display both underline and overline when I hover the links, so I added the hover style in a css file.

since by default a link has underline I must then add the text a:link decoration to none.

And also when a link was visited even then by default it shows an underline, so I must use a text decoration to none also

That was basic knowledge everyone is familiar with. But once the link is visited the a:visited seems to overrule the hover style and both the underline and overline won´t display when hovering the link again.
————–

SO basically, how do I do so the underline and overline always shows when hovering a link and when it is active, it will stay displayed underline and overline

… the part where I want the active links to be underlined and overlined is a page which there are div layers that are Hidden/Shown.
I click on a link and a div layer is visible on the same page,, the basic you know

@SiddanauthorSep 20.2004 — Hah! whaddya know, the only I missed to try out

so now I use only

a:hover {text-decoration:underline overline}

a:active {text-decoration:underline overline}

a {text-decoration:none}

Thanks for the help, knew this would be easy ?
