overline and underline

[helemaal-gek]

I was busy working on my website, but then I wanted to overline and underline one text at the same time. You know like a roman date. MMVI = 2006 Is there anyone who knows how to do this with HTML or CSS?

Try this....it worked in IE 6, not sure about firefox...text-decoration: underline overline;

Presumably that is a CSS attribute, can you do this in HTML?

tnx pulpfiction it worked!holmedwa04: I couldn`t find it.. at least not one in css, just text-decoration: underline; or text-decoration: overline; and in HTML I only found an underline ( <u></u> ).. but tnxa few minutes later.. I walked against another problem:I made a <div> for this overline and underline in another <div> now it is shown to me beneath each other.. another good suggestion to solve this problem?

The html code for that would be<span style="text-decoration: overline underline;">Text to be overlined and underlined.</span>

The html code for that would be<span style="text-decoration: overline underline;">Text to be overlined and underlined.</span>

That worked for me in Firefox.

Even the non-inline CSS code works in FireFox 1.5 and 2.0.

oowyeaah!that <span> thing worked! great thank you very much! (I also got rid of that <div> conflict )

[holmedwa04]

So, could you use:<p style="text-decoration: overline underline;">Text to be overlined and underlined.</p>
