HTML Element: <u>
[this page | pdf | back links]
The HTML <u> element indicates text that
should be stylistically different from normal text. It is commonly used for
underlining, even though the HTML 5 specification reminds developers that there
are almost always other more appropriate ways of achieving a similar effect.
The attributes
it can take are HTML
global attributes and HTML event attributes.
To create or access such
an element in JavaScript
see here. The
corresponding HTML DOM
object supports standard
DOM properties and methods. The default style applicable to this element is
shown here.
