simple hyperlink problem...

So I've added a hyperlink to a screen based on a url stored in a database.
The problem is that the hyperlink text is not underlined...but it becomes
underlined when you hover over it. Small thing but it's what the users
want... The screen/window that it is on is a popup window if that makes any
difference...btw I'm using a literal and emitting the html code on the
fly...the same results happen when I use the .NET hyperlink control.

here is the text...

"<a href=www.cnn.com target="_blank">your link here</a>"

thanks
Doug

You probably have some sort of CSS style (either inline or in a CSS
stylesheet) that is controlling the appearance of an <a/> tag. Look for
format definitions for the <A/> tag in your stylesheet. You can find it
there.

Worse comes to worse, you can use the "style=" parameter to force
underlining.

That was it...thank you very much...I ended up putting a style tag on the
anchor to override the CSS...

thanks
