IE vs FF

Hi all,
here's a short code to format hyperlinks (gif flags) on my page:

Code:

---

a.flag:link              {color:white; text-decoration:none}
a.flag:hover              {color:white; text-decoration:none}
a.flag:active              {color:white; text-decoration:none}
a.flag:visited              {color:white; text-decoration:none}

---

I want the gif images to be displayed without any border in different colors according to the user's choice if he visited a link or not... In FF this works but IE still displays this annoying border....

Try:

Code:

---

a.flag {color:#fff; text-decoration:none}

---

Of course you need to be more specific in your selector than anything previously styled, for example if you have

Code:

---

#example li a { color: black; text-decoration: underline }

---

It will not be overriden without a selector of equal or greater specificity.

Hope it helps :)

And the order of the psuedo classes is important in IE

Code:

---

a:link
a:visited
a:hover
a:active

---

a:hover MUST come after a:link and a:visited in the CSS definition in order to be effective
a:active MUST come after a:hover in the CSS definition in order to be effective

I don't see any gif images in that code :)

The code you have shown applies to anchors not images. If you are talking about an image's border then you need to address the image.

Code:

---

a img {border:none}

---

The gif images are the hyperlinks which have the mentioned border...

Well if you use the code Paul's advised then it should remove the border's from the images ;)

Code:

---

a img {border:none}

---

That is, unless you are reapplying the border somewhere else?

If that doesn't work though please provide a link to the problem or post the FULL HTML and CSS code as that will work from what you've told us.

Some people don't want the answer it seems :)
