Answer 1

If what you mean is a different underline color than what the text is, the only thing I can think of is to add a span around the link:

    this just
a test
of underline color

And then the CSS:

span.underline { 
    color: red; 
    text-decoration: underline; 
} 
span.underline a { 
    color: blue; 
    text-decoration: none; 
} 

And you get what you want.

EDIT:

Testing this a little further, it is not working for me on IE. If you add border-bottom, however, it surprisingly does work in all browsers, except that IE does not put a border under the last one. I will try to dig a little deeper to see if there's a cross-browser way to do this...
