Hi there folks! Please could anyone tell me how I can disable the underline of a hyperlink button server control of datagrid and similar controls ? I had used the following css code on the ItemStyle-CssClass which works for traditional hyperlinks to no avail. Thanks for the help:)

.tablecellhyperlinks
{
text-decoration: none;
DISPLAY: block;
}
ItemStyle-CssClass="tablecellhyperlinks"

if it is in a table you have to have
td .tablecellhyperlinks in your css file.

I tried it but it doesn't work.
:sad:

my mistake for not concentrating while writing the post

try

.tablecellhyperlinks td

Thank you f1 fan for your replies.
The suggestion you made is not still working.

I do not know whether the structure of a datagrid control's hyperlink button rendering does qualify as and has the attribute of a valid table. It has no valid "tr" and "td" tags. :confused:

Below is an example of what I'm talking about

<asp:datagrid id="dgLocationLink" runat="server" Width="140px" OnItemDataBound="Grid_ItemClicked"
       BorderWidth="0px" CellPadding="1" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Height="168px" CssClass="DefaultDataGridStyle">
       <AlternatingItemStyle BackColor="#d7dce8"></AlternatingItemStyle>
       <HeaderStyle Font-Size="15px" Font-Bold="True"></HeaderStyle>
       <Columns>
        <asp:HyperLinkColumn ItemStyle-CssClass="tablecellhyperlinks" Target="iA" DataNavigateUrlField="dToYou"
         ItemStyle-BorderStyle="Groove" ItemStyle-BorderWidth="10" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="../alink1.aspx?idm={0}"
         DataTextField="dToYou" HeaderText="You">
         <HeaderStyle Height="40px" BackColor="#6b83c6"></HeaderStyle>
         <ItemStyle Font-Size="20px" Height="40px"></ItemStyle>
        </asp:HyperLinkColumn>
       </Columns>
      </asp:datagrid>

while this is the css

.tablecellhyperlinks1 TD
{
text-decoration: none;
DISPLAY: block;
}
a.tablecellhyperlinks:link 
{
    text-decoration: none;
}

Thanks for the reply Hollystyles.
I believe you saw the current post. Do I change any variable or parameter in the datagrid code/schema. If no is the answer then your suggestion did not work.:sad:

a.tablecellhyperlinks:link 
{
    text-decoration: none;
}

well this sill work for any hyperlinks anywhere on the page:

a:link
{
    text-decoration: none;
}

lets start with that and see what you get.

Yes this works. Although with not so clean results but at least it works. so what next. Thanks
