IE issure with link colors

mrnicks · 03-10-2010, 07:44 PM

I have a problem on a page that has some links that are always red in IE. They're what I have specified in the body tag in opera, firefox, chrome and safari. What's up with this.

The links are the nav buttons. It should be 87D2F9 instead of the red.

Do you mean that the borders around them are always red? If so, try adding border="0" to each navigation img tags. ie:

Code:

<img width="90" height="58" alt="options" src="../images/navigation_r1_c5.jpg" border="0"/>

IE tends to put a border around linked images if you don't specify that it shouldn't have any, and the red border you're seeing is the visited link color on the buttons.

I'll try that, thanks.

So it seems to be working. Thanks again. I swear I thought of doing that but completely forgot. I need to start writing more things down.

Cool. Happy to help.

Yeah, it's helpful to write down little tricks like that. Eventually you'll have dealt with them enough that you'll remember, but there's so many little quirks to the different browsers it's nice to have some kind of list for some of the little issues like this.
