I am working on a page in Drupal 7 in which I have a number of boxes with text and a photo inside of them. I have the entire box div linking to its content page, but I can't seem to get rid of the underline.
I have tried applying text-decoration: none;
to every class inside of and outside of the box and the text inside the box is still underlined.
Even when I use developer tools/'inspect element' tool in Google it shows that the computed style for the box and the text within is text-decoration: none;
I have been trying to figure this out off and on for about a day now and I have not been able to find any solutions via Google.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I am working to post my code. I am trying to find a good solution for posting because it is a page within Drupal that is rendering through Views. Also, I have a job interview in an hour that I'm getting ready for. I probably should have waited until after the interview to post this issue.. oh well.
Edit x2: My HTML is as follows:

The underline can be easily remove by using text-decoration property. The text-decoration property of CSS allows to decorate the text according to requirement. By setting the text-decoration to none to remove the underline from anchor tag.
The underline of the hyperlink can be removed with internal CSS by using a style tag with the property text-decoration as none.
Since this was the first google result and didn't solve my issue: Check the anchor states, as it might need to be set in one of the others. (https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp)
a,
a:link,
a:visited,
a:hover,
a:active{
text-decoration: none;
}
To apply just to this view add:
.view-portfolio-page .views-row a { text-decoration: none; }
To apply to all views add:
.views-row a { text-decoration: none; }
http://jsfiddle.net/D8kRE/
You were applying text-decoration: none to a div which has no effect. You can only apply that to an anchor tag which in your case is located at .views-row a. You can get more specific and apply this to only the portfolio page view by using the code I've put above.
