If you set background: transparent to the a:hover for those navigation items, it will solve the issue.

Hello group, It's another brain fade moment for me, so I hope someone can help me. In IE7, the nav buttons are showing a black underline when the mouse hovers over them, even though I have specifically put text-decoration:none in the IE style sheet. (In other browsers the buttons do what they're supposed to) Can anyone see what I've missed please? http://uniquecelebrations.com.au/ Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia 0414 622 847 Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks Pty Ltd http://afpwebworks.com Full Scale ColdFusion 9 hosting from A$15/month ** Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ** *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

It should be like this: div id=topTop Header.../div ul liblah blah blah/li liblah blah blah/li /ul a href=#topback to top/a And, fyi: Note that in XHTML 1.0, the name attribute of these elements is formally deprecated, and will be removed in a subsequent version of XHTML. http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ Anansi Web Development Web Design and Development | Search Engine Optimisation and Marketing | Social Media Integration | Web Application Development http://www.anansi.com.au/ Web Development Blog http://eisabainyo.net/weblog --- On Fri, 5/3/10, wsg@webstandardsgroup.org wsg@webstandardsgroup.org wrote: From: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: WSG Digest To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Received: Friday, 5 March, 2010, 12:55 AM * WEB STANDARDS GROUP MAIL LIST DIGEST * From: c...@fagandesign.com.au Date: Thu, 04 Mar 2010 12:33:22 +1100 Subject: IE8 bug?

Hi Christian, You will find some info about this on the Sitepoint HTML reference pages, http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/a/href , read down that page and there is some information about requiring a href reference in the anchor link for IE. Also as I understand it you don't really need id= and name=, use one or the other - they complete the same purpose, although I'm just reading this information from a book and haven't checked the specification per se.

As far as don't do it goes, you're preaching to the converted here, but I don't seem to be able to get the message through to my clients. The clients in question are a committee (first problem!), who all say Oh, I know nothing about computers/the internet but at the same time refuse to be guided. Referring them to usability articles is a non-starter, because they'll just not look at them. I've tried reducing the arguments to very basic, non-technical issues, but my powers of persuasion are apparently lacking. Given that I can't afford to turn down the work, I'll take on board the points folk have made here and promise to do the least-awful job on it I can! Thanks again. Lesley Are they business people? Then use business language. Talk about their marketing/advertising/ and the budget and the daily work, 24/7, at achieving their brand/image that goes on by everyone at the organisation. That if someone has a bad experience, it has a bigger then expected negative impact: they will tell 20 people. That background music is an instant bad

It looks like the Content-Type for the document is incorrect. Currently, it is set to Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1. It should be text/xml or application/xml. In PHP, you can use header to set content type of the document. http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Sidenote: I use Live HTTP Headers Add on for Firefox to view header information. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3829 Cheers, Ei Sabai Anansi Web Development Web Design and Development | Search Engine Optimisation and Marketing | Social Media Integration | Web Application Development http://www.anansi.com.au/ --- On Sun, 11/1/09, wsg@webstandardsgroup.org wsg@webstandardsgroup.org wrote: From: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: WSG Digest To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Date: Sunday, November 1, 2009, 10:06 PM * WEB STANDARDS GROUP MAIL LIST DIGEST * From: Adam Smith adsm...@networkten.com.au Date: Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:58:37 +1100 Subject: Re: [WSG] [OT] Google search/index/webmaster help Actually, I think you're both right!

I almost shudder to say this, but use... internet explorer (I feel like I need a wash!) for this; and the file's true structure is seen on scr een. If some time presents today, I'll dig around and see if I can find out why there's something Firefox can't do better than IE (7 by the way) or if it's one of the plugin's I'm running.
