Links in menu have black borders in PC - not in Mac

How can I make then go away?

Hullo and a Happy New Year!

I'm on Mac doing a site (which I can't direct you to because it's password protected. Sorry).

The menu is a table (cell space 0)with CSS'd links. When I view in my Mac, it looks good. But in a PC, every cells has a ugly black border about 2-3 pixels wide. How can I get rid of that?

And another thing: in PC, a clicked link gets this dotted frame. Is there a way to avoid that?

Thanks in advance!

Make sure you tables have border=0 and cellspacing =0

This is IE's way of indicating the currently focussed element - it's there for people using the keyboard instead of the mouse (tab and enter). You can disable it by setting the hidefocus attribute to true in the appropriate element:

<a href="www.WmW.com" hidefocus="true">WmW</a>

I think this is IE only but it shouldn't cause any problems with NN4 etc.. (I have no idea whether it validates).

Thanks for input. Joshie: I will try your tip a.s.a.p. Knighty: I HAVE space/border set to 0. See code below.

<table width="120" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" border="0" height="345">
<tr>
<td class="menuheadline">MENU</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="menutext" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#A9A9A9'" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#FFCC66'"><a href="http://www.mysite.com/index.html" target="mainFrame">Welcome</a></td>
</tr>

Just tried your code and couldn't see any black borders - perhaps you can stickymail me a URL so I can have a look at the whole thing?

Joshie!

I'm so ashamed I've gone purple. I think I found what caused the black border. Can't check now 'cos I'm at the Mac again, but tomorrow I'll check in a PC (aaarrrgghhh... I have to buy one...).

I have managed to add the borders in the CSS style sheet without knowing it. (that HURTS to say...)

If the problem still remains, I'll give you a holler tomorrow. A million thanks for your concern, input and offer to help out!!!
