CSS Property: text-decoration

[this page | pdf | back links]

The CSS (CSS1) text-decoration property indicates the ‘decoration’ (e.g. underlining) added to text. Note in CSS3 the text-decoration property is supposed to be a shorthand property covering text-decoration-line, text-decoration-color and text-decoration-style but at the time of writing this interpretation was not supported by major browsers.

 

Valid property values (other than inherit and initial) are:

Last line is aligned left

overline

Add line above text

underline

none

JavaScript syntax:

e.g. object.style.textDecoration="line-through"

Inherited:
