Alternative Style Links

By CSS-Tricks

You may know this classic style very well.
This is a big old really long link

Here is an alternative way.
This is a big old really long link

This style is achieved just by a background image.

Here is the code:

a {
  text-decoration: none;
  background: url(link-line.gif) repeat-x 0 100%;
  padding-bottom: 1px;
}

Giving the background position of x:0 and y:100% places the background image at the bottom of the text and by setting the padding-bottom to 1px, we make the distance between the text and the background image 1px.

Maybe it is not a big deal but it is surely an alternative way.

Here is another alternative way, using the image for some extra styling.
