Force hyperlinks on any page I browse to be underlined

There are a few websites I use that have a lot of links, however, they have it set up so the links are not underlined. This is driving me bonkers and me and my coworkers are having a heck of a time using it. Later we find that some innocent looking words are actually links to useful functionality!

Is there such a thing as a browser add-in or setting that will force every link on the page to always be underlined, or at least come close? I don't have access to the pages' code.

I'm using IE 8. But any options, suggestions, or even links to articles describing why links should be underlined are welcome.

If you are using IE, go under Internet Options/ Advanced Tab. There is an option called Underline hyperlinks Always. Then turn it on.

That sounded so hopeful! But it dind't work. I saw this in the CSS file controlling the links: .ms-navitem A:link { COLOR: #006983; FONT-SIZE: 100%; TEXT-DECORATION: none } .ms-navitem A:hover { COLOR: #006983; FONT-SIZE: 100%; TEXT-DECORATION: underline } AND I don't have control over that. – FastAl – 2011-08-03T14:33:29.843
