I've been working on a website for my brother (yeah, I'm no expert but
I'm free!) and have "borrowed" one of Brucie's samples for the menu,
which is absolutely fine. However, I'm having trouble providing other
links elsewhere which do not have a border. I can change the colour
of the text and, can underline it, no problem, but cannot get rid of
the box effect and just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have
followed the instructions in the CSS tutorial in
<http://www.pmob.co.uk/faqcss/tutorial1.htm>, trying both the version
setting a class for the style definition for the links, and also using
a separate <div> tag, but whatever I do I still have the box - and
very often completely screw up the original menu as well (I think
depending on where I put the code in my style sheet). I have, by the
way, included {border: none;}. so that the code reads (eg):
a.different:link {
color: #00008B;
background-color: transparent;
text-decoration: underline;
border: none;
border-width: 0; }
Then putting in the body:
<p><a class="different" href="mailto:[email protected]">
(e-mail address removed)</a></p>
I have taken out all these trials for now since none of them worked,
but you can see the test page at
<http://stonybrook.users.btopenworld.com/johntest.html>
and the CSS at
<http://stonybrook.users.btopenworld.com/johntest.css>.
Only one of the links works at present - the one entitled "Degassing
System".
As well as displaying the email address more conventionally, I want to
put some small text links along the bottom of the page, but this is
driving me mad!
