RE: Still can't remove lines from hyperlinks!!! - 7/3/2001 17:41:00
Hi Sue,It's not looking good I'm afraid. I looked at your code again and a couple of things jumped out and screamed at me. Raymondo is quite right there's all sorts of stuff in there that shouldn't be. What has happened is that the blessed thing was trying to be helpful, so it has "coded your code." aargh. That's why in the style code I can see that there are commands for special characters. The fix to prevent this happening again is to first copy into notepad and then select and copy from there in html view. step 0. is always to copy in to notepad. - this strip the html "funnies" out. step 1. Open the page in frontpage as normal. step 2. Click the HTML tab. You have to be in HTML view NOT in normal view. step 3 THEN paste the metatags, styles etc.
Now for the current problem:
<style> type="text/css">
<BR>A:link {text-decoration: none;}
<BR>A:hover {text-decoration: none;}
<BR>A:visited {text-decoration: none;}
<BR></style>
<style fprolloverstyle>A:hover {color: #C0C0C0; text-decoration: blink; font-family: Comic Sans MS}
</style> Delete the text that looks like this <BR> That *might* do it. I *can't* guarantee that it will becasue of the problem I outline below. There are other codes in there too such as the code for brackets > As I say I looked again at the code and there's a style sheet link for a theme in a hidden folder. For a rollover class. I strongly suspect that there's some strange conflict going on between them. Is this a *new* web or is it the *old* one with a lot of deleting and hand editing having happened in the mean time? If it's the old one you can try getting rid of the navigation bar and removing the theme. But to be honest I wouuldn't have too much confidence that that will work. If it *is* the old web you'd do far better to start over. That's why in our replys to your "Desperate times" posting Sandy and I both said that that particular web was so messed up that it would have been better to start over. The problem is not your fault it's caused by the way that themes and styles are handled by frontpage and you couldn't have been expected to know that. I'm really *sorry* to sound so discouraging but if it's the old web that's where your problem is. Except in the class room I *never* use themes for just this reason. It is possible to modify the style sheet of themes but the results can be very very variable to put it mildly, I certainly could'nt recommend it here. Again I'm so sorry to sound so discouraging -you've fallen into a trap that is quite easy to fall into. It's one of the pitfalls of themes, I really think you'd be far better to start over. That may feel as if you've lost all your hard work but you haven't. You still have the text.
You still have the graphics.
You can easily import those photos, the animated South african flag etc into the images folder of the new web. I'll cheerfully walk you through the strategy involved in pasting in the text etc - in the long run it will save you a lot of time and a lot of grief. More importantly you'll wind up with a web that looks good and reflects what you want to do. "Nils desperandum" Kind regards, Mark PS: If things get impossible you can ring ring me on the number at my website: http://www.computerdriving.com the country code for the uk is 44 then dial 1933 and rest of the number. But post here first with a progress report. ![]("http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/ubb/smile.gif") mark PPS I've icq messaged you. I'll fire up icq the moment I get in to my office.
