HTML - Dotted Borders Around Active Links.. Browser Based? Or What?
Perhaps it's just me, but I recently noticed this and I'm curious as to how it works. I don't even know if this is the right forum for this though.
Take a look at these two pictures and websites. http://www.slidedeck.com/examples/reddal http://www.friendgiftr.com/ If you notice in the picture and the actual website, the first example does not show a tiny dotted border around the link that you click. But on the second site, clicking on a link will have that link surrounded by the thin dotted border. At least that's how it is for me on the latest version of Firefox and Internet Explorer. Is this something browser based? Or what? Why the inconsistency? Similar TutorialsHi Guys, If you use this page in firefox you get an active link, dotted border on the up/down arrows. Anyone know of a way to stop this happening with styles? Code: http://www.stompfrog.co.uk/rp/ I guess you could use a js function to take the focus off the link but would prefer a css solution if possible. Stomp Hey. Does anyone know why sometimes, after clicking on a link on my site, a dotted line appears around the link??? It doesnt matter if its a jpg, text or image map link. It doesnt always do it, but sometimes it does and looks ****ty.... thx Ok its so easy & I dont know why its not working, but I want to make Models@PunkRockPrincess.com & Photographers@PunkRockPrincess.com both active links so that when you click them they open up as an email <p><h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.myspace.com/punkrockprincess.com"><span style="color: ##00BFE1;">PunkRockPrincess.com on Myspace! </span></a></h1> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc99ff;"></span><img src="http://www.searchviews.com/wp-content/themes/clean-copy-full-3-column-1/images/myspace_logo.jpg" height="46" width="137" /></p> <h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">Models@PunkRockPrincess.com <br />Photographers@PunkRockPrincess.com</span></h1></p> So what do I change to this code? why the table i have dont expand over browser borders when sum of td widths is bigger than screen width? How can i overcome this problem? hi, because im having trouble configuring my website to work seamlessly (the way i want it) with both firefox AND internet explorer, i was wondering if there was a way that i could make a script that would load the appropriate CSS file for that browser (that i would create of course) and because in internet explorer (havnt had chance to test in firefox) my website looks messed up in some resolutions is there a way i could create a script that would also choose the correct CSS for the users resolution? Thanks people, i know im asking a lot of you guys, but everyone ive spoken to seems so professional and know what they are doing Seasons greetings everyone! So I know if you use "%" to define your height and width with tables that it allows you the table to resize based upon a users browser size. My question is how can you do this with images? I tried setting my height and width for my image using "%" but then my image just becomes overly stretched. My professor said that I should create a table and than place the image within the table, and then set the table height and width using "%". The code below is what I tried. It didn't work though. Any ideas on how to do this? Code: <body>
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td height="100%" width="100%"><p align="center"><img src="images/Banner.png" align="center" class="source-image" /></p></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
Thank you for your help! This problem is simple in need, but a little complex to explain. What I am looking for is a way to create a flowchart or a sitemap of each HTML file rather than my whole site. I need a program or application that will do this for me automatically instead of having to create this manually. I have all ready tried Visio, but it does not do what I desire. Specifically, I have multiple anchor links within each HTML file. These anchor links point to other 'panels' on my page. Within those 'panels' might exist additional links - external or internal. At some point, those links will end at a 'panel'. I need a way to visually show where each anchor link is going, where those links came from (which panel they originated from), and if any of them are 'broken'. I have attached two files that may explain this better. The flowchart_example.jpg shows exactly what I require (more or less). I really just need the boxes (labeled Panel 00, Panel 01, etc.), how each connects to the other based off of links that are in the HTML file, and eventually show where the links end (no more links in the panel). I do not need the '1 Click' or '2 Clicks' to show up. Those can be manually added later. The an_example.html file shows an HTML file that has the anchor links and external links that would need to show up in the flowchart. This HTML file more or less mirrors what I am looking for in the flowchart_example.jpg file. When I refer to Panel 00, that is the top of the page, after the title and black line (where the script actually begins). The user must start at the top. They cannot skip around to other panels. This is why a visual flowchart would be quite helpful. Additionally, the links at the top (scripts, reference, transfers, etc.) along with the top and back buttons on each panel should be ignored when creating the flowchart. Any information or assistance in finding an application or a way to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Hello, I'm trying to create a little page that auto updates itself whenever new files are added. The system is layered such that I have the top level index.html file, then in the same directory, I can add new folders that contain other index.html files. What I want to do is have the top level index.html file pick up every sub directory, grab the name from the directory, and then create a link to that directory's index.html file and then display it in the top level index.html file. So what I have right now is this: HTML Code: <body> <a href="myFirstDirectory/index.html">myFirstDirectory.html</a> </body> There is other stuff, but this is the part I need help with. As you can see, I also want the name that is displayed to be the same name as the directory. I do not know how to automate this if I have other folders in there like directory2, directory3, etc. Can anyone show me an example of how to do this or walk me through it? Thanks in advance. Hey guys, I have designed my site using firefox as my default browser. My site looks exactly as I want in all of the following; Firefox, Chrome and Safari but IE 8 shifts my JS links. the site in question is: http://for-rent-nerja.co.uk Can anyone shed any light on why? I have tried in IE8's 'compatablilty mode' and whilst this improves the layout it does not change the link positioning! IE8 is a joke! I have this code in my js which is located http://www.for-rent-nerja.co.uk/hvmenu/exmplmenu_var.js which defines the links, and this defines the left positioning ' var StartLeft=-8; ' - if I set that to ' var StartLeft=0; ' that aligns it in IE8 but knocks it out of line in the other 3. Any suggestions on how to sort this out would be warmly received! Thanks guys! Jamie I'm trying to come up with a way to mimic a "tab fill" in html: Like this only the page numbers would be justified to the same line, and the . .. is "auto generated" to fill the empty space: 1. The First Line ................................... 25 2. Below The First ................................. 32 3. After That .......................................... 47 The "titles" would be in column 'a', and the numbers would be in column 'b' The space after the "titles" would be filled with ... I have come close using 'bottom border' but that puts the ... under the text as well. I tried using span and div, but that will either putt the ... on a new line below the text, or if i use 'display:inline;' it puts it on the same, but it no longer fills the empty space to the edge, and only displays the ... when there is text inside. I tried stretching it out with a clear image but it didn't work either. Also tried using a 'highlight' (background color) on the text to cover the bottom border but that didn't really work. (the closest i got was using this method with a background image of a dot. but that wasn't much better...) Any thoughts? Thanks. Hi, I'm trying to find a way to fill the empty space between a description and its relative letter for example: blablablalbalbalblablabla (***carry over to the second line because out of space) blabla----(white space)----a. (** the letter) the description is done by cold fusion query and the structure is in a table with the vertical align = bottom to ensure the letter match the last line of the description. now I need to make change to this so that the whitespace between the last line do the description and the letter is filled with dots like this: blablablalbalbalblablabla (***No dots on the line above the last line) blabla ............................ a. I've tried number of methos but none of them sync well with my situation, Any suggestion on how to do this will be greatly appreciated, Thanks in Advance!! I have had this problem on almost all the websites I've made and I'm too picky to let it go... When I make the navigation images/buttons for a website, I set the border to zero as usual and link each image to its respective page. But, when I click on the image to take me where it's supposed to, this pesky dotted border appears around the edge of the image after it has been clicked and it remains there until I click on something else on that page. (This also happens to text links when clicked, but I'm not too worried about the text links.) For the websites I've made that go to an entirely new page after an image link is clicked, the dotted line appears around the linked image after it's clicked and before the next page has loaded, but then after the new page loads the dotted line is gone. But, for websites I have built that utilize frames, because the new page that loads is in an iframe, and because the page the navigation buttons are located on never changes, the dotted border stays around the image after its been clicked and, like I mentioned earlier, doesn't go away until I click on something else on that same page. An example of this can be seen when you click the images in the navigation column along the left side of a website I built located at the following URL: http://www.djprogress1.com/ This border problem could be specific to my website browser (I use Firefox), but I am not sure. And the border could be added entirely by the browser and there may be no way to get rid of it through coding, but again, I am not sure of this. So, does anyone know if anything can be done to fix this or am I stuck with these dotted borders? Thanks, Jase Hello to all, I have been trying to research and track down the solution to a browser consistency issue I'm having. On my page, myaplusservices.com/index.html , I have successfully removed the borders for each frame in Firefox; however, in Internet Explorer the borders are still appearing as thin white lines between each frame. I hope there is some way to correct this so it's consitent between the different browsers. I am new to this and I'm about ready to pull out my hair... =) <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>A+ Services- Mesa, AZ</title> </head> <frameset cols="*,800,*" frameborder=no border=no framespacing=no frameborder="0"> <frame src="leftblank.html" scrolling=no noresize frameborder=no border=no framespacing=no> <frameset rows="100,30,*,30" frameborder=no border=no framespacing=no> <frame src="banner.html" scrolling=no noresize frameborder=no border=no framespacing=no> <frame src="buttons1.html" scrolling=no noresize frameborder=no border=no framespacing=no> <frameset cols="150,650" frameborder=no border=no framespacing=no> <frame src="navbar.html" scrolling=no noresize frameborder=no border=no framespacing=no> <frame src="home.html" name="main" noresize frameborder=no border=no framespacing=no> </frameset> <frame src="footer.html" scrolling=no noresize frameborder=no border=no framespacing=no> </frameset> <frame src="rightblank.html" frameborder=no border=no framespacing=no> </frameset> </html> I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you, Hi everyone, I hope I have posted this in the right area. This is my first time posting here. I currently have my main pages listed at the top of my site as graphics (see fussybaby.ca). I would like to potentially remove these graphics and use text links instead - I had the graphics designed for me, so I can't just go in and make new ones, however I'd like to change/rearrange the links and add some new ones. So my question is: How hard is this to do? Is this something I need to hire someone to do for me? Thanks in advance for any advice! Hi there, I`ve been doing some programming in java and delphi, but now its time for me to try to learn some html/css, and later some php. Anyways, I`m making this test site, where the meny consists of 4 text elements, all containing a href: <a href="foto.html" target="myFrame" id="menu_items">foto</a>; I`m using an external .css file to controll the graphics of the site, and there I have edited the a:visited, hover, active... When I click on one of the menu items, the color changes, as when I hover too. But I would like the first element of my menu, home, to be active when the page loads. How can I do this? Hope you understand my question. Thanks in advance! EDIT: Ok, there has to be an easy answer to this one, so maybe I just didn't explain my problem good enough. =) When I enter the page for the first time (after writing the adress in the adressbar and clicking "GO"), the page loads, and shows the "home" section. My page contains the site-logo, menu, and an iframe which shows the pages (home, foto, contact, and so on) as html files included in the site. As a default, it loads with the home.html in the iframe, and therefor the text "home" in the menu wont change color to the active color, which I set in the external .css file. But when I click on either of the menu items now, after loading the page, it changes color and works fine. What I want, is to set the "home" text in the meny to the active color (or in the active state) when the page is loaded. Sorry for any bad english, doing my best. And again, thanks using IE7 this is fine but in IE6 not so much. we have a page where we have a javascript function which can sort columns when the user presses an html hyperlink. This is fine but in IE6, when you click on a link, it seems to also highlight the oher links as purple (visited) when this is not true. how can we stop it from doing this and what about "resetting" it back to the default blue color when the page is navigated to again? Thanks Hello. I am having a tough time fixing this problem I'm having. I am creating a site using web expression 2. So far, everything is working fine, except for a couple of browser issues regarding active x controls. When I open the site on firefox, which from what I've read, doesn't use active x controls, everything loads fine. But, when I open the site on IE, the latest IE8, contents of my site aren't displayed properly due to blocked active x controls. How and what can I change in my code so that people viewing my site in IE8 can see it normally? Here is the source code and css: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta content="en-us" http-equiv="Content-Language" /> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <title>Facpros</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type =" text/css" href="1css.css"/> </head> <body> <script type =" text/javascript"> //code for showing/hiding div dropdown comming soon </script> <div class="head" > <div id="Navigation" style="left: 313px; top: 244px" > <ul class="nav" > <li class="notparent"><a href="location"><span>Home</span></a></li> <li class="notparent"><a href="location"><span>About Us</span></a></li> <li class="notparent"><a href="location"><span>Contact Us</span></a></li> <li class="notparent"><a href="location"><span>Leadership</span></a></li> <li class="notparent" ><a href="location"><span>Events</span></a></li> <li class="notparent"><a href="location"><span>Our Members</span></a></li> <li class="notparent"><a href="location"><span>Inquiry</span></a></li> <li class="parent"><a href="location"><span>Language</span></a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class ="body" > </div> <div class ="foot"> </div> </body> </html> Code: body{

Hi there, When running a website from my Hard Drive or CD, the Active X message pops up, saying: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options..." I know that if you disable the Windows security, this message goes away. I would like this message to not pop up regardless of your security settings... much like the format /y command in the good ol' DOS days. Is there a command that will force the computer to accept the page without user intervention? Thanks in advance! I when I preview my website a active x bar shows up and another thing is that my pictures are not showing. What can I do? |
