styling Title issue (not displaying as link ?)

Hello
I'm trying to add a date in the tabs titles. I did that in views. (date + title in global custom text)
But although 'display as a link' is NOT checked in views admin, my title is displayed as a link, so my date is not styled with css, as it is transformed into a link, and so including the date in blue underlined.
How can I get rid of this link and apply css in tabs titles?
thx
