I am planning to create my own style sheet, but for now, I want to get my interface up and useable, so I am using the default links.css. I can't figure out what is controlling the vertical black bar on the left side of the page. I imagine this is the default out - of - the- box. Can someone answer this?

I believe that would be the background.gif in the same folder as your links.css

Here's the line actually in your css file:


/* Note the use of an absolute URI for the background image */
/* This is a workaround for NN using an address relative to the */
/* .html file rather than the .css file */
body {
color: #000000;
background: #FFFFFF url("http://yoururl.com/...older/background.gif") repeat-y;


If you take off the url the black bar down the left should disappear, that may cause errors for image not found in your logs, so you may want to change the image to white.

Many here have a Links that no longer resembles the out-of-the-box script, at least visually. I would have said something, but I have no standard-issue Links to look at and see what creates that line. If it is the background .gif, removing the whole thing url("http://yoururl.com/linkfolder/background.gif") repeat-y will not cause errors, as this line would be the only thing looking for the image, and the background will become what is defined by the color, #FFFFFF (white).
