border on image links

[geek987]

as everyone knows, when u put up an image link, there's usually a border around the image. i learned dat by putting 'border="0"' , i could remove dat border. but wat if i want the border , however , in the color of black?

The border color, by default, is the link color you specified in the BODY tag. I think you would be able to change the border color of an image link using CSS.

in my head section, i wrote:
edit: edited to remove the first and last <> brackets (certain code likes to play nasty tricks on the front page )

(style type="text/css")
<!--
A:link {color:black}
A:visited {color:black}
A:hover {color:#0066CC}
A.unique:hover {color:black}
-->
(/style)




but ,still, the border colour is blue

I am curious about the comment tags (<!-- and -->)you have in the code. If you actually are using these comment tags in the document they should be removed.

but i use the code and it works on normal text links, so....

I clicked the link and it returns a 404 error(file not found)

Anticipating your response that you see the page just fine, I would suggest clearing your cache and you will see it is not there

edit: I also went to removed the links.html to visit your front page and tried to follow the link from there, still got a 404 error.

This link worked, be sure to correct the link on your index page also. I looked at your CSS and the comment tags are there. Also, you only need 1 opening and closing style tag, a new set of tags are not needed for each element.

The best thing to do is to visit http://css.somepeople.net I have a feeling dean is going to give me a reason that the comment tags are ok.

Dean, if I may go off topic for a minute, http://www.quietdean.com/?page=css

so.....how DO u get borders in color black?

[QuietDean]

Thanks Dave. I got the hang of my referral id, lol.

The comment tags are good. They stop the css code being displayed as text in older browsers that do not understand the style tag.

Daves right, the tutorial covers borders quite well.

heres a shortcut -

<a href="mylink.html"><img src="myimage.jpg" style="border: 4px dashed black;"></a>

Other values for border style include solid, dotted, ridged . check out the tutorial.
