epub: links in toc should not be underlined ...

NASCARaddicted · 06-15-2010, 06:13 PM

Hello

I have the following problem:

I created an XHTML file with some links. To be exact: On page 2 (after the title) I created a TOC.

The code is like:

Code:

<a href="#link1">chapter 1</a>
<a href="#link2">chapter 1</a>

Now, when I open the xhtml file in Firefox, there is an underline on the links. But I don't want that.

So I use a separate css, and write the following:

Code:

a[href] {
    color: black;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

Now, in Firefox, the underline is gone and the colour is black. But when I convert the xhtml file into an epub with calibre, the underline is back and the colour is blue. I opened the epub and looked at the css and now it said:

Code:

a[href] {
    color: blue;
    text-decoration: underline;
    cursor: pointer
    }

So, am I doing something wrong ? Or how can I get rid of the underline ?

Thanks for your help

calibre currently forces that style on links to workaround a bug in the rendering of links in an old versions of ADE
