• The above ALA article may give you some good ideas on how you would 
go about using images for custom link underlines.

Dotted borders will display as dashed in win/IE... suxors.  :(

You might try:

1. Specify a border-size of 2px. This should give you dotted borders in 
IE (but, IMHO, 2px dotted does not look as good as 1px dotted... Hmmm, 
will IE7 display 1px dotted borders correctly??).

2. Using filters, feed IE/PC 1px solid borders and give everyone else 
1px dotted borders.

3. Use images (quickly slapped-together... used ALA technique):
