Mysterious Black Line

Sent by tedd on 19 June 2006 18:06


Hi people:

I asked:

>It has been pointed out to me that a "Mysterious Black Line" appears at the top left of my web
page
>
>http://www.sperling.com/examples/menuh/
>
>when viewing the page via Firefox 1.5.0.4 running on Mac OS X 10.4.6.

cj said use:

a img {border: none !important;} -- which worked like a charm -- mondo thanks! It was an easy fix,
much better than I anticipated.

Els said:

Ok, I said "that I was aware of" -- I wasn't aware until now. :-)

Both Els and -Nick pointed out:

The line is the top border of this element:
<a href="#narrowparagraph"><img src="images/gifs/transparent.gif"
alt="Skip Navigation" height="2" width="2"></a>

Which carries the image border thing problem. I placed that there for accessibility "Skip
Navigation", which as my Mom used to say "No good deed ever goes unpunished."

Thanks for all your most observant help.

Now, one last question.

Why does the background image I use not work in just the those two pages showing my menu examples
--

http://www.sperling.com/examples/menuh/
http://www.sperling.com/examples/menuv/

-- via Firefox 1.5.0.4 running on Mac OS X 10.4.6 and I assume others?

I've looked at it and the problem isn't obvious to me as to why it's happening. Is it the IE
conditional statement interfering with the basic css with regard to background?

Thanks again for your time.

tedd
