That's irrelevant for the purposes discussed here. Treat the use of <u> here as just a convenient shorthand to avoid writing out <span style="text-decoration: underline;">, which would have complicated the examples for little reason. (I don't know if browsers actually use <u> when doing contentEditable stuff, but it doesn't matter here.) ~TJReceived on Tuesday, 22 February 2011 23:40:26 UTC
