Forum Moderators: not2easy
I'm using this CSS code:
.menu li {
list-style:none;
display:block;
padding:3px;
margin-bottom:3px;
}
.menu li a{
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:none;
}
.menu li a:hover {
text-decoration:overline;font-style:italic;
}
however I can't get the underline-effect for the links to dissappear when the cursor is above them (which I'm trying to do with ...a:hover {text-decoration:none;}). How come this isn't working?
Additional information:
The underline effect is gone when I'm not moving over it with the mouse cursor & using something such as text-decoration:overline doesn't show any effects, either...
I'll appreciate any suggestions! thanks!

CSS Validator
[jigsaw.w3.org...]
Copy-paste my code into a test.html, open it in your browser, and see if it does what you want. Don't take what I post and use it to modify your code and then say, "It doesn't work."
@pageoneresults: I'll give your suggestions a try, too (trying to validate my CSS..I don't think there was any overriding effect, though (checked that already)).
