without using cascading style sheets is there a way to have a hyperlink with out the underline?

basicly what i want to do is make a hidden link that dosent change color after you click it and always stays the same color as the background of the page.

i'm going to start looking for it but i figured someone knew

<style type="text/css">
<!--
A:link        {text-decoration: none;}
A:visited     {text-decoration: none;}
A:hover       {text-decoration: none;}
</style>

You could also use an image map for this, my highschools website had an image map for navigation so i added a "secret" spot that was only a couple pixels wide and would bring you to a different server.

Okay so it was lame, but I found it funny :P.

In that case:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
A:link        {text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF;}
A:visited    {text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF;}
A:hover      {text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF;}
</style>

Just replace #FFFFFF with whatever background color you have.

Really? Where is the spot?

We don't use the image map anymore...

You can create a class ID for the a tag. Try this

<style type="text/css">
<!--
A.hidden:link        {text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF;}
A.hidden:visited    {text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF;}
A.hidden:hover      {text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF;}
</style>

and then your link will look like this

<a href="http://www.someurl.com" class="hidden">Click Me</a>

This code is all just a guess so it may not work but I know you can create a class for a tag so that you can have several styles for any one tag.

OR you can do something like this:

<a href="http://www.w3.org/"
          style="{color: #900}
          :link {background: #ff0}
          :visited {background: #fff}
          :hover {outline: thin red solid}
          :active {background: #00f}">W3C</a>

And of course replace the colors (#000) with whatever you want.
