Help with section image border colours

[aalden]

Hi,

I did a lot of work on my site recently and I must have changed something somewhere that controlled the colour of the borders around my section images? They used to be black but they are now the standard blue/purple things that look awful!

Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

Hi Alex

I did a lot of work on my site recently

Does this include editing/changing the images as well. If that is the case, it looks like you will have to use some image enhancing software to change the color of the borders around the images.

The blue border is because the images have the property 'border' set to 1.
Have you changed a stylesheet anywhere???

The reason they are showing Blue/Purple id because they are links. I would suggest that you have changed a .css file

[aalden]

Yes, I always had the border set to 1, but before the borders were black. I changed a lot of things, but am unaware of changing anything that controlled the link colours. All the major templates are link to: actinic.css
and the only part that looks like it may control the border link colours is this part:

a:link{
color:NETQUOTEVAR:LINKCOLORCSS;
font-size:11px;
text-decoration:none;
}

a:visited{
color:NETQUOTEVAR:VLINKCOLORCSS;
font-size:11px;
text-decoration:none;
}

a:hover{
color:NETQUOTEVAR:HLINKCOLORCSS;
font-size:11px;
text-decoration:underline;
}

a:active{
color:NETQUOTEVAR:ALINKCOLORCSS;
font-size:11px;
text-decoration:none

have changed all the color properties to black but no joy...

Can you upload a snapshot and send me a link to it please.

I will have a look. I can remember puzzling over something similar about 6 years ago so cant really remember how I fixed it

Sorry I cant help. I uncompacted the cgi/html but all the comments have being stripped from the HTML so I have no idea which of the many template files to edit.

I notice that the product images have a black border. Are you sure the section images had this border.

You should compare the code for the product and section images.

Thanks, Act_SectionNavImage.html controls the border:

<IMG SRC="NETQUOTEVAR:IMAGEFILE"
ALT="NETQUOTEVAR:ALTERNATETEXT"
BORDER=1
NETQUOTEVAR:IMAGEHEIGHT
NETQUOTEVAR:IMAGEWIDTH
NETQUOTEVAR:OTHERIMAGEMARKUP
ALIGN="ABSMIDDLE">

I can turn the border on & off by changing border=1 to 0. I can't seem to find any way to change the color ..its the same with the product image Act_ProductImage.html I can change the border thickness and it will default to black as it is not a link ... but I cannot seem to change the color.

Anybody know how to do this?

[aalden]

Solved it!! Act_SectionNavImage.htm change border = 1 to style="border: 1px solid #000;"

<IMG SRC="NETQUOTEVAR:IMAGEFILE"
ALT="NETQUOTEVAR:ALTERNATETEXT"
style="border: 1px solid #000;"
NETQUOTEVAR:IMAGEHEIGHT
NETQUOTEVAR:IMAGEWIDTH
NETQUOTEVAR:OTHERIMAGEMARKUP
ALIGN="ABSMIDDLE">

Thanks everyone for the help on this ..
