Image showing border all the time :|
Hi guys/gals. Has anyone got any idea as to why the following code;

<input border="0" src="http://www.book-buying.co.uk/images/button_go.gif" name="I1" type="image" width="42" height="25">

... shows up a border on the "Go" button Unsure

I've been trying to figure this out for several hours now... and it is REALLY getting on my nerves :'(

You can see it here: http://www.book-buying.co.uk/

TIA for any help :)

Cheers

Hi,

Nothing wrong with the code. It's in the css. In your

http://www.book-buying.co.uk/images/style.css

you have

input {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: xx-small;
border: 1px solid #333333;
}

Could this be the reasons.
Just try and see if it works. That's the only possible thing i could figure out

From long Term maint issues, Also why not pack everything up in your style.css as page source has too many places having the styles defined. Just a suggestion if the above is the reason for that painful borderSmile

Thanks

YOU ARE A STAR! I've been staring at that code for absolutly ages! Fixed it first time Smile

I'm still developing the site, so there are quite a few more template changes to make (the links don't really go anywhere, and the buttons are all just dummy links). Its getting there Angelic

GT is coming up with all CSS version templates so just taking my first lessons in CSS though not to sure how long would i be able to finish the course if at all. If i don't probably i would be a veteran within months of CSS Version Release of GT Products :D:D

Glad that it worked.

CSS has been my nemesis.

For everything CSS fixes, it breaks something else.

Kinda like the old nursery rhyme about the old lady who swallowed a fly (then she had to swallow a spider to catch the fly, and something else to catch the spider, and something else to catch that.)

It's the same with CSS - a class for borders, a class to undo the borders, a class to undo the undo, etc.

Yeah.. I kinda noticed (just like vBulletin ... which breaks all the time, especially with their bad template system). My aim this Xmas hols (if you can call them that =)) is to learn XHTML and CSS. I've just brought a book, which is really good at explaining it all in a "non-techie" way, whilst still showing you the more powerful features Smile

Anyway.. back to work now <G>

Cheers

A css editor may save you some brain ache.
I'm using Top Style which isn't bad. The only reason i'm using it is that it came free as a promo giveaway on a pc mag disk.
There are a lot of others out there. A google search will give you a good list and there are a few free ones.
Maybe some one has a favorite.

Thanks for the suggestion, but sometimes its better to do it by hand Smile

I went through a stage of using all these editors (Dreamweaver, PHPEd, and several others) ... but in most cases, its just as quick/easy to write it manually, so you can do what you want, without having to learn another program <G>

TopStyle is not bad... It helps me when I can't remember syntax (was that "font-size" or just "size"?), etc. Of course a good reference chart will do the same. Believe or not, XML for Dummies is where I learned CSS (even though the book is for XML).
