asp:menu control and underline on menuitem text

I am using a asp:menu control as a dropdown menu. the NavigateURL is blank. I
do not want the text in the menuitems to be underlined. I have set all the
underline properties to false and still the text is underlined like it was a
link. How can I get rid of the underline.

Thank you

Hi,
Have you tried setting the text-decoration property of the hyperlink style
to 'none'

Hi Jerry,

If you create a simple web page and with a simple asp:Menu, you will find
the hyperlink is not underlined because of following CSS rules:

~~~~~

<style type="text/css">
.Menu1_0 {
background-color:white;visibility:hidden;display:none;position:absolute;left

:0px;top:0px; }

    .Menu1_1 {
color:#7C6F57;font-family:Verdana;font-size:0.8em;text-decoration:none; }
    .Menu1_2 {
color:#7C6F57;background-color:#F7F6F3;font-family:Verdana;font-size:0.8em;
}
    .Menu1_3 { }
    .Menu1_4 { padding:2px 5px 2px 5px; }
    .Menu1_5 { }
...

<a class="Menu1_1 Menu1_5" href="javascript:__doPostBack('Menu1','New
Item\\New Item\\New Item')">New Item</a>

~~~~~~

Note the CSS class .Menu1_1 has "text-decoration:none", and the hyperlink
<a> has been applied two classes here: Menu1_1 and Menu1_5 here.

If your menu still has this underlined hyperlink in the menuitem, I think
the text-docoration:none css rule isn't applied. Please check the HTML
source of your web page. If in doubt, please post your source code of the
webform and the generated html source here. Thanks.
