Can anyone explain this to me a little...as i understand it, an outline is a border that hovers OVER an html element that doesn't impact the layout of the page. this true? sounds cool to me.sounds nice, but it is CSS2, so there's no guaruntee its 100% supported. see the REC (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ui.html#propdef-outline">http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ui.html#propdef-outline</a><!-- m -->) for more informationthat link is precisely where i discovered the existence of this property...i can't get outline stuff to show up in IE. it sounds super handy to me.does it show up in real browsers (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/">http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/</a><!-- m -->)? its likely that IE just doesn't support it.like it or not, most people use it--at LEAST twice as many people as mozilla:

Try text-decoration: overline.
