border color ??

...D. · Jul 18, 2004

I am a new hobby website runner. I've come a long way in a week from an
online tutorial. Using the term "webmaster", gives me pause, as I don't
consider myself a "master".

I have gotten to where I have some rectangular button type JPGs & pictures to
link to places. I have decided I like to have a small border (size 2) to add
just a little bit of definition to the little JPGs borders. I'd like all of
the borders to be black, but the borders are coming up different colors. I
can have 4 JPGs in a row across, but the border color might be different from
one to the next.

What determines the border color? Could this make a difference - I use a big
faded JPG as the background, and not a small one that tiles (unless the user
is running like 1600 x 1200, in which case he gets part of the background
picture tiled). Can I dictate border color with a code?

Thanks for the reply, but I am lost with the answer you posted. Please be
more specific if you will. If I display as my code the following, how would I
incorporate what you replied with into the code. exactly, please? (I want an
all black border):

<a href="mailto: (e-mail address removed)">
<img src="mypicture.jpg" align="center" WIDTH="125" HEIGHT="114" BORDER="2"
<P ALT="Locutus, the host ...click to email" > </a>

<a href="mailto: (e-mail address removed)">
<img src="mypicture.jpg" align="center" WIDTH="125" HEIGHT="114"
BORDER="2"
<P ALT="Locutus, the host ...click to email" > </a>

try this instead:-
<a href="mailto:[email protected]">
<img src="mypicture.jpg" style="border: 2px black solid;"
align="center" WIDTH="125" HEIGHT="114" ALT="Locutus, the host ...click
to email" /></a>

Should work as you want.

Your borders are showing the default link colors. (a:link a:hover,
a:visited, a:active). Adjust with CSS.
