Frontpage Hyperlinks are killing me --- highlights

[hostmedic]

Hello -

I had a client call us today asking how to fix the following:

They have an existing website and have added a picture using frontpage -

they wanted to use a hyperlink on the picture --- and did so - but now the entire picture is highlighted with a blue box --- it messes up the entire site-

any way to turn this off

I checked just to make sure it was not the "placard holder" in Internet explorer --- and its not that...


thanks


Sorry - not real big myself on the design end -
as much as the hosting end...

thanks again group Also - I did a search but found so many results not even close to the answer to this question - I figured I just better post it...

You have to put 'border=0'

[cyanide]

I guess I should be more specific

Like this:
img src="picture.gif" alt="whatever pic" width="200" height="138" border="0"

If border="0" is not there, you will get that border

Thanks ... will give it a try

Not sure that explains enough. To use an image as a link without a blue border around it, the code would look something like this example:

[img]image.jpg[/img]

This is why I say everybody should learn HTML regardless of whether they code by hand or make pages with a wysiwyg editor.

It's only Internet Explorer that puts a border on images that are links in my experience.

They could also of used CSS.

<style type="text/css">
<!--
img { border: 0; }
-->
</style>

Yeah - I agree -

We try to help our hosting clients with the answers to their questions rather than telling them -
"I am sorry that's out of our scope"

Sure - we are only a web hosting provider - but its still nice to help the clients out when needed

thanks again - - -
if we can ever help you - let me know

I understand, I just believe in giving all the information when answering a problem. Bit of a pedant like that.
