I am trying to build a new personal homepage and decided to try using
CSS for the first time.  I came across some dashed underlines for links
on this page (and several others):

http://www.mezzoblue.com/zengarden/resources/

How do you do this?  It's not one of the defined text-decorations, so
I'm not sure how to do it?  You don't have to use dashed borders like
you would in a table would you (i.e.  somehow make a table around every
link and make the bottom border dashed).
Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

a:link {

border-bottom:1px dotted $color; }

That of course works, but actually it's still just a hack to get the
desired appeareance in current browsers with current standards.

a:link {
text-decoration: underline;
text-underline-style: dotted;}

or something equivalent would be more appropriate. If it was specified and
working yet.

But that's quite a big 'if'.
