 * Hi all.
    On my website i have a small problem with some buttons. When i create
   a button `<a href="link"><button>button_text</button>` it sure enough creates
   the button, but sometimes when creating the button it makes an underline on the
   text O.o and i have no clue to why this is happening. Can someone tell me why
   it does what it does? See picture [](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/838/skrmbillede20110619kl10.png/)
 * Also, sometimes when adding text to my site and update the page. When you hover
   over the text with your mouse it highlight the text with a red color. Why does
   wordpress do this and how do i do so it dosent highlight the text?
 * Hope someone can help me.

 * possibly caused by the default styles for links; not caused by wordpress, if 
   at all caused by the stylesheet of your theme.
 * try to identify the styles for these links (or confirm that these are missing)
   and edit the stylesheet accordingly.

 * if you post a link to your site, pointing to a post/page with this problem, someone
   might be able to help with this.

 * The problem with the text is that i have not decorated it at all. The only thing
   i have done is written it in the wordpress editor and updated the page. And then
   when i hover my mouse over it, it lights up in a red color.

 * that could be the problem.
    add styles to style.css (or the stylesheet for customisation
   of your theme), and style the links the way you want to see them.

 *  but it is not a link, its plain text that get the decoration, do i then still
   need to style the style.css? any guides on how you customize the style.css?

 * if this is your code `<a href="link"><button>button_text</button>`, then that**
   is** a link;
 * unless you post a link to your site, to enable someone to see your ‘problem’,
   there is not much more to suggest.

 * A okey we are talking about two different things.
    Problem #1 Is the button as
   you are talking about. Problem #2 Is normal text inserted in the wordpress editor
   sometime gets a red highlight. Okey so now that we both are talking about #1 
   it makes more sense :p
 * Can you give me an example of how `<a href="link"><button>button_text</button
   >` could be worked into the style.css file?
