CSS Text-decoration Properties

Definition and usage

The Text-decoration property specifies the adornment that is added to the text.

Note: The decorated color is set by the "Color" property.

Description

This property allows you to set some kind of effect on text, such as underlining. If the descendant elements do not have their own decorations, the decorations set on the ancestor elements "extend" to the descendant elements. User agents are not required to support blink.

Default value:	None
Inheritance:	No
Version:	CSS1
JavaScript Syntax:	object. style.textdecoration= "Overline"

Possible values

value	Description
None	Default. Defines the standard text.
Underline	Defines a line below the text.
