CSS information

Remarks

Windows Internet Explorer 8. The IHTMLRuleStyle3::textUnderlinePosition attribute is an extension to CSS, and can be used as a synonym for text-underline-position in IE8 Standards mode.

This property specifies the position of the underline decoration. To turn the decoration on or off, use the IHTMLRuleStyle::textDecoration property.

The position of the underline decoration is relative to the layout of the text in the object. With vertical text, it is more accurate to say that the above value causes the underline decoration to be laid out before the text or that the decoration appears before the text. With the below value, then, the decoration appears after the text.

In Internet Explorer 6, The auto and auto-pos values apply to this property as of Internet Explorer 6. The default value of this property is auto as of Internet Explorer 6. With Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5, the default value of this property is below.
