CSS - Links Are Underlined On One Particular Computer
I have a div on a web page set up so that all the links inside that div should not be underlined. Works great on every OS and browser I have tested it on... except one particular computer running Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8. That computer shows the links underlined. Other computers running Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8 show the links not underlined as intended.
Is there some kind of personal browser setting in Win/IE8 that overrides the style sheet? I looked in Internet Options and found the option to underline links Always/Hover/Never, but that option seems to be set to always by default, and does not override the style sheet on other computers. Similar TutorialsI've got two questions of which one is to gather some opinions to help me decide what's best. 1) color notation in CSS: Any recommendations as to what notation I should use? examples: color: rgb(255,234,0) color: slateblue color: #FF99CC color: #F9C Is there some recommendation here? I'm quite used to the long hex notation e.g. #FF99CC. Is the short notation also very much accepted? And should I be using those at all or should I prepare myself with a new site to switch to rgb(). 2) text-decoration yes or no? I was thinking the following: A) when it's absolutely clear that some text presents a link, like e.g. in a menu or some newscolumn with a brief description and a bold title, then it's "okay" to set text-decoration: none. Maybe an underline or colorchange when hovering. B) When it's not absolutely clear what's a link, like some word in a paragraph text, use underline or at least some other colour which is consistent over the website for being a link. Also, with point B I was thinking of choosing: A new link: text-decoration with color and text-decoration gone with hover, for a nice effect. With a visited link: I) text-decoration but normal paragraph color and again text-decoration gone when hovering OR... II) no text-decoration, but still with that color and text-decoration when hovering. It troubles me coz I can't make up my mind. Something keeps telling me that I should try to keep those text-decorations like with B-I and simply remove the colour, instead of relying on colour to indicate a link. So forget about B-II?! Ah, it was this site which works on my conscious not to rely on color for links: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2003Mar/att-0002/01-part#colorunits Anybody got some comments or tips? And yes also some tip on the CSS I want things to be "user-friendly" enough, but this also means that I don't want text to be broken up too much. Some people even suggested that I should take ALL links out of the paragraph and simply mention them below the paragraph. All good points, but which way to go I am trying to create a text box that has no border but has the entired box appear to be underlined. That is, I would like a 20 char box to appear like it has 20 underscores in it. However, I do not want to use a mask to do this, since I do not want any underscores in it. I want this to look like a host-based program. I don't want the text to show up as underlined as it's typed in, I would like it to appear just as an already underlined text box. So we can say that I want to record First Name and Last Name. so it would look like First Name:____________________ Last Name:____________________ Any ideas on how to do this? here is my code so far Code: input.termbox {color:#3333FF;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-family:Terminal;
font-size: 15px;
text-decoration:none
font-weight: normal;
border: none;
I have some body text on a site I am working on. On Firefox and Safari the text appears with an underline even though it isn't set in the CSS to have this line. Strangely it doesn't happen in Internet Explorer 6. Also, it only happens on one page of the site in Firefox and Safari. Hello, a bit of a .css n00b and needs your help. After changing a .css sytle sheet to suit my a needed color shceme the links become underlined when the color is changed. Anyone willing to to tell why. Any help appreciated. A sample of the link code: /*- Links */ #primary a:hover, #primary a:visited:hover, .secondary a:hover, .secondary a:visited:hover { text-decoration: none; } h2 a:hover, h2 span a:hover { color: #423525 !important; <!---27d to 423525 --> text-decoration: none; } a{ color: #423525C; <!---27d to 423525 --> text-decoration: none; } .itemtext a:visited { color: #b41; } Thanks. I'm trying to make a small box that is entirely clickable with text inside that is not underlined. Could someone explain to me why this code does not work, and what I need to do to fix it?

Hello All, I have an image with a text label to the right that is linked. Now, I want a little whitespace between the image and the text, so that the text doesn't butt up right against the image. To accomplish this, I could use a non-breaking space ( ) However, the space then becomes part of the link and it gets underlined. So, by adjusting the image's margin (or padding) CSS, I can achieve the desired result... at least in Internet Explorer. Firefox/Safari/Chrome seem to underline a linked image's margin as well. I tried using "padding" CSS instead, but produced the same result. How can I get Firefox/Safari/Chrome to underline JUST the text in a link, and not the image (and it's margin) as well? This is how the code is displayed in IE: http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/2360/pfieeu9.jpg Firefox/Safari/Chrome: http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/5421/pffirefoxvv1.jpg You can see the little extra "nubbin" of underline between the icon image and the text. CSS: Code:
a.red10ullink:link {color: #a80000;
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: arial;
text-decoration: underline;}
a.red10ullink:visited {color: #a80000;
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: arial;
text-decoration: underline;}
a.red10ullink:hover {color: #333333;
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: arial;}
img.icon {vertical-align: middle;
border-width: 0px;
margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;}

Polling of 1500 people by Auspoll early last week showed she has a 45 per cent approval rating, an 18 per cent disapproval rating and a whopping 37 per cent have reserved their judgment. The polling was taken before the asylum issue blew up in the Government's face. Labor's election planning has been brought forward by the rise of Ms Gillard as leader. A senior Labor source confirmed last week that former prime minister Kevin Rudd had been planning a late election, which was expected in about October. Among a series of announcements last week that have been widely interpreted as a clearing of the decks was a decision to axe the Green Loans program and put the Government's controversial internet filter on hold for a year. Even on social issues Ms Gillard appears to be travelling well. Her much publicised early admission that she does not believe in God is not troubling many voters. The Auspoll survey found that having an atheist Prime Minister was of no consequence to 62 per cent of people, 20 per cent said they actively support a PM who does not believe in God while less than 18 per cent were opposed. </div> </body> </html> Hi, Is it possible to make 3 different sites depending on the client browser medium? I have a flash site, that needs to be presented non-flash for the iphone, and another non-Flash site for the ipad. Is there a way CSS can detect these 3 different browser mediums? If so, then how? thanks - Simple question, but i'm trying to create a decent sized space in between my links, and make them white. I can make my links white, but can't seem to change the space inbetween them. HTML Code: div id="bar-links"> <center> <div class="content box1"> <table width="500" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td colspan="4"><img src="images/barlist_01.gif" width="500" height="23" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td background="images/barlist_02.gif" width="20"></td> <td background="images/barlist_03.gif" width="456"> </p> <div id="bar-links"> <h4><a href="#" title="Riley's Pub">Riley's Pub</a> <a href="#" title="Ho Down Bar"style="color: #fff">Ho Down Bar</a> <a href="#" title="Depot Square"style="color: #fff">Depot Square Bar</a> <a href="#" title="Egans Pub"style="color: #fff">Egans Pub</a> </h4> </div> </td> <td background="images/barlist_04.gif" width="24"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="4"><img src="images/barlist_05.gif" width="500" height="27" alt=""></td> </tr> </table> </div> CSS Code: #bar-links { text-indent:inherit; text-align:left; }
I want to have a hover effect on the links of my page. I'm using an attached stylesheet to define it. Here is the section defining the links: Code:
a:link {
color: red;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
color: blue;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:visited {
color: red;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:active {
color: red;
text-decoration: underline;
}
Normal links appear red and is not underlined. When the cursor hovers over a normal link, it appears blue and is underlined. However, visited links do not 'behave' as normal links. They appear red and are not underlined. When hovered over, they do not change color or get underlined. I want visited links to act the same. They only way I could get them to act the same was to do the following: Code:
a.general:link {
color: red;
text-decoration: none;
}
a.general:visited {
color: red;
}
a.general:hover {
color: blue;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a.general:active {
color: red;
text-decoration: underline;
}
This is the only rules IE will obey. But every link need to be defined as instances of class "general". Is there a better way of handling this? question is about CSS and links. I can get underline effect, background change, etc by using .a but i need to have more than one sort of link in my page, e.g. menu links cannot have the same effect as links in the main text. How do i set up more than two link effects? I am not sure if these links count as navigation or not, so not sure if I should be using the UL element for semantic correctness? <div id="footer_bottom" class="bold"> <a href="sitemap.php" title="Sitemap">Sitemap</a> | <a href="accessibility.php" title="Accessibility Options">Accessibility Options</a> | <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer;verbose=1" rel="external" title="Validate XHTML">XHTML Valid</a> | <a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer" rel="external" title="Validate CSS formatting">CSS Valid</a> </div> I'm currently working on a website for college, but I've run into an issue I can't work out. I can't seem to get rid of the default purple box that appears around my links. The HTML: Code: <div id="homelink"><a href="index.html"></a></div> The CSS: Code: #homelink{
position:absolute;
width:53px;
height:17px;
margin-top:25px;
margin-left:70px;
z-index:10;
}
#homelink a{
display:block;
background-image:url(images/links/home.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:53px;
height:17px;
}
#homelink a:hover{
display:block;
background-image:url(images/links/homehover.png);
width:53px;
height:17px;
}
As you can see, I use a background image for the div and no text for the link. Clicking the background image works fine and takes me to the homepage, however I get the default visited and active link border around it. Is there any way to solve this so that no border appears? I have what seemed to be a simple idea but is turning out to bother me. In my style sheet i want to put a base url followed by a user id Link looks like this Code: http://mywebsite.com/this_folder/remote/html_server.php?xw_controller=hitlist&xw_action=set&target_id= Now in my html i have this Code: <table><tr><td >My name<td >Job position<td >606959150</tr> The last td that has the number in it i want to add to the end of the url posted above i cannot figure our what to put in the css to use as the main link and i want to add another td behind the last one with the number in it with the entirelink which should look like this Code: <a target="_blank" href="http://mywebsite.com/this_folder/remote/html_server.php?xw_controller=hitlist&xw_action=set&target_id=606959150">Link</a> I have to use this for multiple people each one using a unique ID# is there a simple way to do this, the reasoning behind this is that the main link changes once every few months, instead of changing all links i would like to be able to just change the one in the css file and be done with it. i hope i am explaining it correctly. Thanks ahead of time for any help u can provide Hi, If I have the following CSS: body { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } a:link, a:visited { color: #F36706; text-decoration: none; } a:hover, a:active { color: #F36706; text-decoration: underline overline; } #siteDimention { width: 758px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; } How come the links in my page aren't changing from the normal blue/purple ones? I have set up a CSS file for a website I am building, however, when I click on the links which work correctly (at first) it goes to the desired place, if I go "back" the link turns to a larger italic font. Look here for example. http://www.burrellprolabs.com/newsite.htm if you click on one of the body copy links under "latestNEWS" then go back you will see what I mean. here is my css style for that particular part: .bodycopy { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #575757; text-decoration: none; line-height: 13px; } .bodycopy a:link { color: #BF0000; text-decoration: none; } .bodycopy a:active { color: #BF0000; text-decoration: none; } .bodycopy a:visited { color: #BF0000; text-decoration: none; } .bodycopy a:hover { color: #969696; text-decoration: underline; My first post Website:www.freewebs.com/weareamazing I can't figure out how to move the links that are at the top of my page (Home, Graphics, Icons, Linking Back, Credits) to the side of my table. I also want to get rid of that line that is under the links. Thank you for your help! |
