Re: text-decoration sticky?

[keithrw]

@AskRay – Thank you for replying with your workaround. Yes, I understand this can be done. The problem with my case is that the table heading is what already receives the text-decoration style of underline.

@TheDoc – Thanks for another reply. I was following that logic as I was reading, then I decided to try something that defies it.

in this case, the text has a background-color: none, and when moved down by absolute positioning, the parent’s background-color does not come with it… yet, the text-decoration example, the underline does. Weird, right?
