Attention Web Designers: I need help!?

Question

I am trying to create a hyperlink with a picture; however, there is a purple box that keeps appearing around it. How do I remove that?
AND....if you can reccommend any good sites for someone who is teaching herself to design websites.

Thanks for all of the honest answers up front.

Answer 1

In your tag, put in border=0; so your img tag will look something like this,

I am a web developer by trade. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

Answer 2

In the same way that hyperlinked text, by default, is underlined, hyperlinked images are sometimes outlined. Not all browsers do this, incidentally.

The easiest way to remove it is with this bit of CSS

a img
{
border: none;
text-decoration: none;
}

Which basically means, do not give images within an 'a' (a link) a border or an underline.

The best resources, I've found, are mailing lists where you can tap the collective knowledge of hundreds of professionals. Two of the best for web development are:

evolt.org's thelist - http://lists.evolt.org/mailman/listinfo/thelist
css-discuss - http://www.css-discuss.org/

The former is excellent for all manner of web dev topics while the latter is strictly CSS and almost draconian in enforcing this.

Probably the best advice I can give you, if you are new to web dev is to learn the html and css standards, and adopt css-based rather than table-based design practices.

A couple useful resources are the CSS-discuss wiki, which is a good repository of the group's knowledge and a good place for beginners to look around first if they don't want to get yelled at:

Also if you're just learning CSS, take a look at the selectOracle: http://gallery.theopalgroup.com/selectoracle/

Good luck.

Answer 3

A basic html code for the hyperlink would be .. The alt (alternate text) or the title appears as tooltip. Try this and I think you wont have any problems.

Designing websites is not so easy nor so tough. It depends on you to a great extent and the web search you do. htmlgoodies is a good site. I shall suggest you to try http://www.w3schools.com I think you will get everything related to web designing up here.

Answer 4

you will need to learn abit of html coding to go around it. try to look for the code inwhich you have the image. this is a sample.

this is a sample image tag.


you will just have to add some additional codes to make the purple box disappear. this is how to do it



thats all hope it helps.
