HTML code for highlighting text?

Can someone tell me the HTML code to input so that when a word is hovered over, the text will underline?

Thanks very much as always.

A word or a link.

Hi Kilsek....it would be to highlight by underling a link when you put your mouse over it that I need.

Here ya go.....

Code:

Place this in your css

a:hover{
color:#fff;<<--THIS PART CHANGE TO THE COLOR YOUR WANT TO SHOW WHEN YOU HOVER
background:transparent;
text-decoration:underline;
}



Hi Kilsek,

Sorry for the confusion and I probably didn't ask my question very clearly. What I've done was put some links in the "Welcome" message box of my forum. I added them through the HTML editor that is in there to do so. Now I don't want all my links in my forum to underline when the mouse is hovered over them, only these ones.

Is it possible to enter the code into the HTML editor only for this or is there no other choice but for all links to underline?

Oh ok I'll get back to you unless someone else gets here first.

Code:

<a href="http://help.forumotion.com"onmouseover="this.style.textDecoration='underline'"onmouseout="this.style.textDecoration='none'">forumotion</a>

gives you

<a href="https://help.forumotion.com"onmouseover="this.style.textDecoration='underline'"onmouseout="this.style.textDecoration='none'">forumotion</a>

Hi Kilsek,

I'll give that a whirl....I think I get it, my code in there is pretty jumbled up right now with lots of things so I'm gonna have to add those codes VERY carefully so not to mess anything up! I will get back to you and let you know my results.


Thanks very much for this help :)

glad to help

Hi Kilsek,

Ok, it wouldn't work for me and I think I know why but not HOW to fix, These links are hyper links not just straight links. Here is an example code just like mine that I need to integrate with what you gave me.
