text-decoration
IE 4 NN 4 Moz all Saf all Op all CSS 1
Inherited: No
Specifies additions to the text content of the element in the form of underlines, strikethroughs, overlines, and (in Navigator and CSS) blinking. You may specify more than one decoration style by supplying values in a space-delimited list. Thankfully, mainstream browsers ignore the blink setting. Navigator 4 does not recognize the overline decoration.
Text decoration has an unusual parent-child relationship. Values are not inherited, but the effect of a decoration carries over to nested items. Therefore, unless otherwise overridden, an underlined p element underlines a nested span element within, for example.
CSS Syntax
text-decoration: decorationStyle | none
Value
In addition to none, any of the following four constants: blink | line-through | overline | underline , but Mozilla ignores blink.
Initial Value none
Example div.highlight {text-decoration: underline}

IE 4 NN 4 Moz all Saf all Op all CSS 1
Inherited: Yes
Sets the size of indenting of the first line of a block of inline text (such as a p element). Only the first line is affected by this setting. A negative value can be used to outdent the first line, but be sure the text does not run beyond the left edge of the browser window or frame.
CSS Syntax
text-indent: length | percentage
Value
See the discussion about length values at the beginning of this chapter. Negative lengths may be allowed in some contexts, but be sure to test the results on all browsers. You may also specify a percentage value, which is calculated based on the width of the next outermost container.
Initial Value 0
Example
body {text-indent: 2em}
p.firstGraphs {text-indent: 0}
Applies To Block-level elements.
Object Model Reference
[window.]document.getElementById("elementID").style.textIndent
