How can I get rid of underlined links?

I have explored the Safari Preferences and cannot find any way to eliminate the underline that appears with all link items. On my Yahoo homepage, for instance, all of the links (and almost every line is a link) appear with an underline. I'd like to eliminate this so the type is easier to read. I checked through this forum and could not find anything on that issue. Is there any way to do this with Safari or do I need to go back to Firefox??

PowerBook G4, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hello SteveHaines,

First of all, welcome to the Apple discussions.

You can do this with Safari Enhancer

** You will find this via Google or visit Version Tracker or Mac Update, free to download an use ...

Let me know if so ...

Good luck ...

Make your own style sheet and tell Safari to use it (an option in its preferences).
Copy the text below and paste it into any "plain text" editor and then save it using the .css file extension. Then tell Safari to use it.

focus { outline: 1px dotted invert }

a:link { color: #CC0000; text-decoration: none; }

a:link:active { color: #CC0099; outline: gray 1px dotted; }

a:visited { color: #000099; text-decoration: none; }

a:visited:active { color: #006699; outline: gray 1px dotted; }

Changing the color values will change the color of those links. Key part is the text-decoration: none value.

Thanks much for the reply. I'll give it a try. I knew Safari recognises styles but didn't know of an easy way to do them. This seeems to fit the bill. Thx.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. As you know (from the second note) there's also the CSS route. One of the two should work. Thanks for the reply.

Sorry, Safari Enhancer did do it. I did try the CSS script sent by another reader and that seems to be working.

I tried Safari Enhancer (earlier post) and it didn't work. Then I loaded your script and "voila", no underlines.

Thanks again.
