Yes yes.. I've missed you guys too. I'm looking forward to giving Quake Wars another shot when I get back home in a few days. Of course I've still got to play through BioShock and finish Prime 3... hmmm. Things could be worse!

Lastly, I checked out the NBA Live 08 demo that hit XBLM the other day and by some kind of miracle it seems those guys finally unsucked the game. 06 was just unfinished and 07 made me want to cut myself with how sloppy it was. I now look forward to kicking Maarten's ass on the internets with NBA Live 08. I sure hope season mode stuff is good.

Is it possible in CSS to disable the text-decoration within a hyperlink itself? For example I have a link where I want some text and also a div that contains a box. I want the text outside the div to be underlined like normal, but the text within the div to not be underlined.

      It's probably just a silly mistake that you haven't noticed yet. It almost always is with css. Just keep messing with things. Try validating your xhtml and css. If they're invalid, make them valid and then take it from there.

      Look at Chod's sample -- he's trying to put a div inside an anchor. : ThomW
      
      I know. I began composing my response before he had the example there and finished after he posted it. : harbl
      
      I've even tried it with just a span a regular inline element and that doesn't work either. : Chod
