IE disaster

Hi Everyone

I have a linked image e.g. <A href=.. CLASS=IL><IMG... CLASS=IL></A>

Now, in my css, I use ........ A:LINK {border-bottom: solid 1px red}

I have a special class for A and for IMG, IL,

A.IL:LINK {border-bottom: 0px;}
IMG.IL {border: solid 20px white;}

With Opera and with Mozilla, the image does not have a border, but with IE
the image shows a border.

Does anyone know a way to fix this?

Thank you in advance

sorry, rf is a bad influence on me and talked me into grinding up my
crystal ball and snorting it.

That was supposed to be a crystal meth ball, brucie... now you're just
high on glass.

Thats your idea of a disaster? What happens when your car gets a flat tyre
or you get sick? They must be real catastrophes!

As this is an image library that is just the way it is, I am sorry Bruce, my
apologies. I, myself, am stuck on an island in the south pacific so I know
the bandwith feeling.

Would you like me to make a copy of the page available without images?

Here's a crazy idea - limit the # of thumbnails displayed!
Nah, too easy. We need to come up with something more complicated to fix
this...

Dear Karl

Thank you for your comment.

The image library is only for people who want to use pics in brochures and
so, having 70 thumbnails on one page allows them to make a decision quickly.
For most of them bandwith will not be that important. This keeps it nice and
simple at the cost of a bit of bandwith that people would use anyway, if
they had to browse through several pags...

Let me know if I am wrong

Have you done ACTUAL user testing with persons who are representative of
your user base?
If not, how do you know anything about whether the solution you've provided
is helpful for them?
How do you know that having 70 thumbnails is the ideal number? How do you
know that the thumbnails are the correct size?
How do you know that they're all on fast enough connections that the amount
of data they're forced to download is not an issue?
How do you know that they don't require additional images in order to make a
decision on which images to pick?
How do you know that the thumbnail images are large enough for them to make
a decision just by seeing the thumbnail?

It appears to me as if you've made these decisions based solely on
assumption alone. Commonly known as the "I made these decisions because
that what I want" approach rather than the preferred "I made these decisions
based on user feedback" approach.

I used a combo of
a. commonsense
b. customer interaction (i know the people who use this)
c. practicality

I definitely agree with your questions though, they are good questions.

Most business only provide images on a CD, but we offer them from our
website, which is much faster and cheaper than, for example, sending a CD to
the other side of the world.

If you have any other constructive comments on the site then I would love to
hear from you, because I really want it to be a good website.

I usually work with the rule that the entire site should be no more than
50k. What do you think?
