Opera Oddity - Links Have Overline and Underline?

link decoration?

[lorax]

I noticed an odd behaviour with Opera 6.03 and 6.05 and the links on a new site I'm building. The links not only have an underline (which they should) but an overline as well! The links display properly in Op 7 beta (imagine that!), IE 6, Mozilla 1.1, and NS 6.2. Has anyone seen this before?

Is your text-decoration set to overline? Opera 6 might underline it by default, thus getting the two line effect? I'm at a loss, otherwise.

Check:
->prefs
->fonts and colors
->click the link style button

Double check those settings.

Yes I've been able to reproduce it..

are you by any chance using the display:block property too?

I had a look because for some reason I can't get Opera to Underline a link..it's appearing in my normal text color too, which it's not supposed too..

Brett have already done what you say, but it doesn't help and also it's only happening on one page of my site that calls a different style sheet to the rest of the pages although the link CSS code is the same?

further after Googling:

It is very important to add the 'text-decoration: none;' as Opera 6 has a bug which causes an Overline to appear on links which are set to 'display: block;'

Thanks Suzy, I searched for half an hour and came up with nothing!

>> are you by any chance using the display:block property too?

Yes. I noticed it had to do with the display: block property. Was able to rectify it by removing display: block and adjusting the container's properties. Thanks all.
