SOLVED: Nevermind, the links were visited, and the border definition was missing for visited links (as someone pointed out, thanks). As for the color being first place in the border definition, the snippet comes from the IE Developper Toolbar, this is not directly my code. Anyway, thank you guys !

Why does the link in the following snippet does not render underlined with a dashed line, just as expected and as ff would do ?

    You might want to set up the style for Visited link too.

    And, I do not think you should use *{...}

    It works fine in FF3.

    Change to that :

    #main A:link, A:Visited {  COLOR: #437fda;  BORDER-BOTTOM: #437fda 1px dashed;  TEXT-DECORATION: none  } 

    And change :

    * {  PADDING-RIGHT: 0px;  PADDING-LEFT: 0px;  PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px;  MARGIN: 0px;  PADDING-TOP: 0px;  FONT-FAMILY: 'trebuchet ms', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif  } 

    for

    body {  PADDING-RIGHT: 0px;  PADDING-LEFT: 0px;  PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px;  MARGIN: 0px;  PADDING-TOP: 0px;  FONT-FAMILY: 'trebuchet ms', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif  }
