Go my minions, assist me!

I've come across a bit of a problem, and I need some help.

Here's the deal: I'm creating a button system that will allow for easy placement of BBCode tags. Obviously, I'm using
and elements to construct the buttons.

I found out that I can edit button labels through some simple CSS. I'm having a problem, though, with underlining text in one particular button.

Here's the code in question:

Quote:


Now, this code works correctly in IE (what a suprise :O), but FF fails to draw an underline under the button's text. I know its possible, because if you go onto any PHPBB-based forum you'll see two buttons that have underlined titles.

Any idea how I should go about fixing this problem? I tried to reverse-engineer some of PHPBB's code, but alas to no avail. Help me, if you can! :D

[EDIT] Fixed to in second paragraph

Well, I copy pasted your quote text into a html page and it just works :?

However, in the rest of your post you claim to use input type="text", which is ofcourse quite a difference ;)

Anyway, my code that works:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<input type="button" value="Underline" style="text-decoration: underline;" accesskey="u" />
</body>
</html>

Ah, it appears as though the code for the button works when you don't declare a doctype. I forgot to mention that whenever I code a website, I ALWAYS use an XHTML Transitional Doctype.

My guess is that the code you tried out parsed as HTML 4.0, which has a lot looser standards than XTHML.

Anyway, I found a fix, I suppose I should update this entry with the fix ;)

That's very well possible, I only place doctypes on websites that are in production. Since obviously they seem to be parsed differently, I should do that on every page ...

What's the fix btw?
