In this article, we would like to show you how to underline text on hover event using CSS.

Quick solution:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
div:hover {
  text-decoration: underline;
}

The :hover CSS pseudo-class is triggered when the user hovers over an element with the cursor, changing the element style to the one specified within curly brackets.

Practical example

Edit

In this example, we add on-hover text underline to the div element using div:hover pseudo-class with text-decoration property set to underline.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>
​
    div:hover {
      text-decoration: underline;
    }
​
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div>Hover me to underline.</div>
</body>
</html>
