Name
text-decoration — NN 4 IE 4 CSS 1
Synopsis
Inherited: No
Specifies additions to the text content of the element in the form of
underlines, strikethroughs, overlines, and (in Navigator and CSS)
blinking. You may specify more than one decoration style by supplying
values in a space-delimited list. Although Internet Explorer 4
accepts the blink value, it does not blink the
text. Navigator 4, on the other hand, does not recognize the
overline decoration. Text decoration has an
unusual parent-child relationship. Values are not inherited, but the
effect of a decoration carries over to nested items. Therefore,
unless otherwise overridden, an underlined P
element underlines a nested B element within, for
example.
