Change active class attribute to "text-decoration: none"

I’m new to Textpattern, but not CSS. I’ve converted the default page to my own, customized, page using CSS. Styles are pointed to my custom CSS style sheet at: Presentation>Styles. All is working splendidly so far.
However, the “a links” (active links) are still viewing with an underlined even though I have called out all “a” attributes as “text-decoration:none” per standard CSS mark-up. (I’ve even used the “!important” tag, but no difference.) This leads me to believe that there is some sort of overriding Textpattern attribute that I’m unable to locate.

Any suggestions out there?

Thanks much!

Is the underlining of your links the product of a “border-bottom” call perhaps?

Nope. The entire site simply ignors my active link decoration style (“none”) and keeps an underline under all active eliments.

Re: Change active class attribute to "text-decoration: none"

Is your style sheet a modified version of the original? If so, Joe has the solution: the original has

a {
	text-decoration: none;
	color: #000;
	border-bottom: 1px #000 solid;
}

Tracking down CSS issues is so much easier with Firebug, the Webkit inspector, or some other dedicated CSS tool.

jsoo. That was awfully clever work around. I would not have thought to mask over the underline with a bottom border. And, yes, it works. Thank you.

Actually not what I meant. If you based your style sheet off the default one from new Txp installation, it has the bottom border for anchors as above. So you just need to remove the border.

Re: Change active class attribute to "text-decoration: none"

holy cow, your’re right. I must have went through the style sheet a dozen times looking for that, and kept looking over it. Thanks for pointing that out to me (even though it was a bit obvious). This is why working alone can be such a pain!

Well, that vote on the textpattern CMS in this thread was a lie , since the competition has been, you know, closed like for four months.

Still… strange way of spamming… How about “confused”?
