Hi,

 I've tried setting all the cssSettings to my style which includes the text-decoration:none; and I can't get rid of the underline on the header row. Am I missing something or is this not possible¿

 You about you show us some code.

Hi,

 This is my GridView control:

1            <asp:GridView
2                ID="GridView1"
3                runat="server"
4                DataSourceID="AccessDataSource1"
5                AllowSorting="True"
6                AlternatingRowStyle-BackColor="#EEFFFF"
7                AlternatingRowStyle-ForeColor="#000099"
8                BorderStyle="Solid"
9                ForeColor="#000099"
10               HeaderStyle-BackColor="#000099"
11               HeaderStyle-ForeColor="#EEFFFF"
12               Font-Names="Calibri"
13               Font-Size="16px"
14               HeaderStyle-CssClass="headerRow">
15           </asp:GridView>

and this is my CSS

1    .headerRow{
2        text-decoration:none;
3    }
4    td{
5        padding-left:10px;
6        padding-right:10px;
7    }
8    
9    th{
10       text-decoration:none;
11   }

There isn't an issue with the CSS not being read as the <td> class is working.

As you see, I've set the <th> as well, as this is what is generated by the GridView for the header. Neither this nor the .headerRow is having any effect i.e. the sort links are still underlined.

Thanks

 Try:

    .headerRow a {
        text-decoration:none;
    }

Setting .headerRow (or th) that way just ensures that normal text is not underlined (which is already the default). You have to additionally specify that you don't want links (a) underlined.

Thanks mckrecker, ".headerRow a " was what I was missing.
