I always see that underline effect whenever i create a text with link using anchor. Is there any way to remove it or other code or tag i can use instead? Thks.

you can use CSS to get rid of that line. A sample code would be like this:



<style type="text/css">
a:link {text-decoration: none;} //the original link with no underline
a:visited {text-decoration: none;} //the visited link with no underline
a:hover {text-decoration: underline;} //mouseover link and an underline appears
</style>


a brief explination:

a:link is the plain link,
a:visited is a visited link
a:hover is a link when the mouse moves over it

text-decoration is the marking or effect for the link

you can find more details about CSS on this website as well as looking around google for it.

Just place the above code in the <head> of every page, or add it to your stylesheet, and you'll have what you need.

It can be removed using CSS, however it should not when the anchor is amongst text; colour alone should not be used to indicate a hyperlink.
