Altering the link colour

PFJ · Jul 9, 2003

Hi,

If would point your eyes towards http://ahnews.music.salford.ac.uk/mmp you
will see that I'm on the final bits of a complete website redesign and
personally, I like it. I must say a big thank you to all on here who
helped me out with it. Come to Salford and I'll buy you a pint of
something nice

However, there is a little problem - if you look at the top there is a link
to the main Salford website with a blue box around it with two smaller
boxes to the right of it.

I have tried to say that there are no borders around links, changed the
link border color etc to be the same as the background colour, but to no
avail.

Could some kind soul please tell me how to do it?

TTFN

a:link img { border: 0 !important; }

Also, you should try validating your page. You seem to be using a mix of
HTML and XHTML, which is not a good formula!

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
(snip)
<link rel="top" title="University Home" href="http://dev.salford.ac.uk/" />

Glad to see things calming down on u.c.o.l now

Hi,

By the process of poking various fingers onto keys Toby A Inkster
generated this:

a:link img { border: 0 !important; }

Excellent - thanks Toby

Also, you should try validating your page. You seem to be using a mix of
HTML and XHTML, which is not a good formula!

Validation is next on the list - for the moment, it's more important to
get it up and to replace the current version (which should not be viewed
IMO when under the influence!)

Tell me about it ;-) I think the primary reason is the noisiest on there
has had their internet account closed by their ISP...

<img src="someimage.gif" alt="some alt text" style="border:0px" />

yes - or slightly more simply... <img src="someimage.gif" alt="some alt
text" border=0 />

That's not more simple; that's deprecated markup. Adrienne's example is
the correct one (although the unit is superfluous).

Yes, I know the unit is superfluous, it's habit. I find I get into less
trouble that way.
