Wrong Colour Links and Small White Boxes

[ro88o]

I have attached 4 images of the problems I'm having.

First of all, the colour scheme settings (colorSettings.gif) I've got show that the links should be #b3c2d2 however the other screenshots show that the links are using the default colour. Is there another setting I should be changing to affect the links?

Secondly, you can see from insideDiv.gif that when the user moves the cursor inside the main div all the links get underlines. Anyone know why ?

Lastly, from the largeScreenie.gif you can see that I have some links at the top (Home | Contact | Forum | Site Map) which even though they have nothing to do with the Actinic code on the page seem to have small white boxes on the right hand side ?

I can post code if that would help anyone work out what is going on. TIA for ANY help you can give me on getting these problems fixed!

Is this a css linked theme? If yes, the behaviour of the links may be being cotrolled by a elements (such as a:hover or a:visited) within the css file.

If you are not sure, do a view source in your browser when you preview an actinic page, then edit | find css within the head area.

Solved the links problem but not the boxes!

Hi,

You were right about the css - turns out because I had conflicting information in actinic.css and my own css the links in Firefox reverted to some form of default. Fixed that now by removing anything that controls links in my css. The same applies to the little white boxes which I'm fixing now, takes a little more effort because I want to keep the two types of format for different lists on the site.

Does anyone know what can be done to fix the problem where I move into the div containing the categories and all become underlined ? (problem can be seen in insideDiv.gif above)

TIA, ro88o

Edit: Again if people need to see my code I'd be happy to post

If the underlining problem is in Firefox, then you are seeing their standard behaviour. I have the same problem with my pages. Even the description text on the products gets completely underlined. I have not worked on a solution yet.

Not sure if this is the same issue, but I've noticed text ofen gets underlined because it has been used as a link anchor eg <a name="...">text</a>. I just moved the text outside the anchor to sort the problem, which doesnt effect anchors working.
