Any computer experts that can deal with code?

All the links have an underline under them. There's a code in all the pages that removes that line:

Code:

<!--
  A  {text-decoration: none}
-->

I can't figure out what's going on...........

It just started a couple of hours ago.

Is anyone seeing all the links underlined besides me? The hosting company says they don't see any lines under the links.

The code to remove the links is working on TRS Fab but not here. At least not for me. I thought it was my computer and I've turned it off and back on, but the lines are there on here but not TRS Fab. I figure if it was on my end it would either work on all my sites or not at all.

This is what I see:

Those lines shouldn't be under the hyperlinks.

a:link, a:visited, a:active { text-decoration :none; }
a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }

I don't see any lines either.

Maybe it's your personal browser settings?

N/m, I starting digging and the problem was right there in my face.

You have a link tag in the style tag that's causing the CSS to fail. It's working okay in IE7 on XP, but not in FireFox.

<STYLE TYPE="text/css" /><link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/gif" />

</STYLE>

Edit:
Also, the CSS above is more standard, and make it more apparent that the user is actually over a link.

IE 6 -- no underlines on my web browser...

Am I the only one who is seeing that the relevant code is COMMENTED OUT?



is HTML comments.

One thing I noticed that when I did a lot of WYSIWYG work that IE has built it libraries tucked away in a DLL file that it runs the HTML through to make sure that it's correct and that all of the tags are closed and what not. That's essentially what's happening, IE (platform difference? Is that Vista Jim?) knows the link tag isn't supposed to be in CSS, so it's just throwing it away and processing the CSS. If you save the home page as a COMPLETE page (not just save the src HTML), it does some re-formatting and removes the <link> tag. Jim's browser is doing the right thing, and if he is running Vista, fortunately appears to be more compliant to web standards.

That's so that really old browers do not display the code if it cannot support CSS, just like Javascript. If it encounters a tag it cannot recognize (style in this instance), it will just simply ignore it and not generate. But honestly is completely unneccessary anymore, IMO.

Thanks Pete.

I switched that code to:

Code:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css" /><link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/gif" /></STYLE>
<STYLE>
<!--
  A  {text-decoration: none}
-->
</STYLE>

I added the </style> after the icon link and <style> before the code to remove the underline and it went away.

I don't understand why it just started failing when I look at it. It's been working prior to last night and I hadn't changed any browser settings.

Hey Jim, just a FYI, some browers might be able to handle the link tag inside of the style tags, but will be thrown away on others. Best place for that tag would be in the <head></head>, but just putting it by itself will work as well.

eg:

<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/gif" />
<STYLE type="text/css">

</STYLE>
