The suggestions you've already received are the most obvious ways of identifying a link: if it's blue and underlined, it will be recognised as a link. The further you divert from this, the less likely your links will be recognised. Especially for headings, a border-bottom is far preferable to a text-decoration: underline since it doesn't interrupt descenders and it can be styled as a pixel-thin line. Partly, the problem is that people just aren't used to headings being linked; for your average web user, it's not a very common experience. I'd suggest that, no matter what your solution, you think about linking the copy. Not, as you rightly point out, by adding a meaningless 'More' link, but by linking relevant words/phrases, for example in: http://checkoutacollege.com/Parents/ForParents.aspx you could link "the reasons community and technical colleges are the first choice" under the first heading, "costs of all these different college options" under the second, etc. If there's no suitable word or phrase, see if you can rework the copy such that there is. - Bobby ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
