Yes, but did you play about and change the font-size for the
"_____"? It is an impossible thing really but it looked thicker
on my main Browser. You should say why you want to do this and
how much of it is needed, there may be other solutions. You could
maybe float a gif of a red line or rel position it... you need to
play about... or if it is very little that needs this, a gif of
the text too ... I don't know. Talk more to old Korpela, he might
soften on you...
