Solve : controlling links, vlinks and alinks?

Answer»

I have set all link attributes the same as my background in the body tag so that they do not show up. 

I also use nested tables and display a row of photos that link to separate pages in them.  I have a BORDERCOLOR of black around each one.   
I want to keep the black border BUT once the photo becomes a link...I lose the border? How can I keep the border black and yet maintain NO visible link attributes?

I tried inserting links/alinks/vlinks attributes inside the TABLE, the TR and the TD tags but that did not work.

You can see what I am working on at
rott-n-chatter.com/dana/dogs  The first dog has been linked and you can see that I lost the black border.

Please excuse any poor html, I am self taught.  I use coffee cup as my initial software for quick previews, but the rest is all hand typed.  I also except any educational criticisms too..

Thanks for any help. 

janWould you mind pasting your full code into www.pastebin.com (choose: 1 month) or www.nopaste.info?
I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean.

Also, your page returns a 404 (page not available).

try, http://www.rott-n-chatter.com/dana/dogs.htmlThis looks interesting:

a[title]:hover{
/*Hides the anchor*/

   visibility: hidden;
}

CSS3 properties don't work in Most use FireFox, Opera, Safari, ..
You don't even know what browser he's using and you're already assuming it's going to go wrong.
Not to mention almost all computers get automatic updates (ie8)..
So with so many ie8 and FF users, what can go wrong?

Let's take it easy and wait what he says..

Try coding your vlink as black color.  The code is #000000. 

Edit: also, set your link color to black. Quote from: Treval on February 22, 2010, 01:09:05 PM
Who uses IE?..
26%, per http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp.  That was fairly steady in 2009.  Prior to 2009, IE has a much larger share.

Edit: By the way, none of the 3 links at the bottom of your home page work. Quote

IE owns most of the market share at the minute. That doesn't matter anyway. If you knew anything about WEB design, you would know that you should always design your sites to work in all major browsers.

Those are the two most worthless things in life.
Statistics are the biggest bs ever.

Work in all major browers?
I can choose to not care about IE users or other browser users, it's that simple.Okay. It's not my fault.Anyway, help the OP. I'm not going to bicker about this further.Exactly. Add this to the page head, between and :

Code: [Select]<style type="text/css">
a img {
  border: 2px SOLID #355611;
}
a:link img {
  border: 2px solid #355611;
}
a:VISITED img {
  border: 2px solid #355611;
}
</style>

Or have no border at all:
Code: [Select]<style type="text/css">
a img {
  border: none;
}
a:link img {
  border: none;
}
a:visited img {
  border: none;
}
</style>
