How do I make the underline appear when the mouse pointer is over the
hyperlink?

Add some CSS to the <head> section of the page, just before </head>

<style type="text/css>
a {text-decoration: none;} /*makes the underline disappear for all
links*/
a:link {color: blue;}
a:visited {color: purple;}
a:active {color: red;}
a:hover {color: green; text-decoration: underline;} /*underlines links
when hovered over */
</style>
</head>

This will affect every text link on the page. Change the colours to
suit your design.

Added the CSS as suggested but the whole page disappears, not just the
underlines. Any idea why this could happen?

It should be (some corrections, and some enhancements) -

<style type="text/css">
a { text-decoration: none;color:blue; } /*makes the underline disappear for
all links*/
a:visited { color: purple; }
a:hover { color: green; text-decoration: underline; } /*underlines links
when hovered over */
a:active { color: red; }
</style>

Yes - a typo. Sorry.

Change
<style type="text/css>
To
<style type="text/css">
Note the closing quote (").

Also, you don't want to paste in the closing </head> tag.

And to work properly, the elements need to be in this order: a:link,
a:visited, a:hover, a:active.
