Thanks, Phillip -- I appreciate the help!
Unfortunately, I find that while it works in FF, it -- like everything else, so
far -- doesn't work in IE6.
By the way: do you mean that it's preferable to use a:active rather than
a:hover?

Hi;
I've discovered that both IE6 and FF seem to put a default border (dotted)
around any hypertext link while it is being clicked. I've tried various steps
to suppress this -- eg, adding the styles "a {border: none;}, a
{border-style: none;} a:hover {border: none;}", etc -- but nothing seems to
work.
Here's my (very basic) style code, which the W3C CSS Validation Service okays:
body {margin:0; padding:0; color:black;font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode",
"Lucida Sans", "Lucida Grande", Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;} a
{text-decoration: none; border: none}a:link {color: #79BEEA;} a:visited {color:
#79BEEA;}
a:hover {color: #C4BF66;} a:active {color: #C4BF66;}
I should add that "a {text-decoration: none}" does eliminate the browsers'
default underline.
Any tips?
Thanks, in advance!
