Safari is adding a black underline to my links and that is covering my CSS hyperlink styles (light blue and on hover turns to very dark blue).

code: 1234

 

I have the links set to light blue in site styles and added "!important" to my code but I can't seem to get rid of that black underline. 

At first I thought my CSS wasn't reading at all for Safari, but when I zoomed in, I could see the light blue was there but it's covered by a black line. 

Current CSS: 

a {
  text-decoration-color: #1ABFDC !important;
  text-decoration-thickness: 2px !important;
}

a:hover {
  text-decoration-color: #07263E !important;
}

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, try this in your Custom CSS:

span[class^="sqsrte-text-color--"] {
  text-decoration: none
}

Hope that helps.

@Square_Ace - Thank you! That did in fact remove those pesky black lines. It is now giving me my solid light blue color but not achieving my hover effect of turning the line to dark blue. Is there some safari specific code that needs to be included? 

 

a {
text-decoration-color: #1ABFDC !important;
  text-decoration-thickness: 2px !important;
}

a:hover {
  text-decoration-color: #07263E !important;
}

span[class^="sqsrte-text-color--"] {
  text-decoration: none
}

Hi, I don't know of a fix for this. Safari sometimes acts differently - it's not as easy to code for as Chrome.

I think there's a simpler way to do this though. If you want all text links in your 'Lightest 1' palette sections (i.e with white background) to have black text and a blue underline, then remove the black text color you added to the links first. You can do this by selecting them and clicking on the color button where you added it in the first place and clicking the black colour again (this should toggle it off). This will make your links blue again as this is the default color.

Now go to your color palette editor and edit the Lightest 1 palette. Scroll down to the Links colors and change text links to black. Your links will now be black with blue underlines.

Now in your custom CSS remove the code I previously gave you:

span[class^="sqsrte-text-color--"] {
  text-decoration: none
}

Your existing custom CSS specifies that links should have a blue underline, so keep that, and it should function as you want it to.

OK, actually if I retype each one in a new text block it fixes it. I am guessing this one has something to do with the formatting from where it was copy and pasted. Thanks again for your help!
