Hey webmasters:)

Q.1. Do any of you know if it is ok to link to the w3c validator to validate a page with a *text only* link? I can't find contact info for this.

**They give a link, but it uses an image.

Q.2. Also, when i place the link on a webpage, it creates a highlight around the entire image.(a box highlight. Is it supposed to do this? And is it because it is a certain browser viewing it?

>>My pages are not online i'm viewing them on my pc.

Thanks for your help:)
I appreciate it.

1. <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.domain.com">text link</a>
2. <a href="#"><img border="0" src="file:" width="xx" height="xx" /></a>

Note border="0" this one removes blue outline

Thanks Blackie:)

Q.1.
But i would like to know if the site grants permision to link to them with a *text only* link.
They have some rules on linking i believe.
I can't find info on this.

Q.2. And in question 2, is it ok to link with the highlight
around the image.(I don't know if they allow modifications of their link info.) Also why is it doing this? Is it the browser viewing it this way?

Q.3. Do any of you link with a *TEXT only* link?
Did you just strip the image details out of link?

Thanks for your help:)

The only thing I found is [validator.w3.org...]

Still I think they don't mind if you use plain text.

Q.2. And in question 2, is it ok to link with the highlight
around the image.(I don't know if they allow modifications of their link info.) Also why is it doing this? Is it the browser viewing it this way?

this one is ok too. They say you can modify as you wish here

you may use a different code to integrate the icon within your web page as long as the icon is used as a link to revalidate the Web page it is in

.

Q.3. Do any of you link with a *TEXT only* link?
Did you just strip the image details out of link?

If guys from CSSzengarden can do it you surely can :-)
I've seen many other examples of it other places too.
