oops, you are right. Although I do use an external style sheet, the suspect
HTML code does not have any CSS applied to it so I am in the wrong list!
Thanks anyway for your kind reply. I'll go and try and find an appropriate
list
regards
Dave

Hi
On the six button menu at www.autobarn-cars.co.uk I see boxes around my
links in IE8. They are not there in Firefox or Chrome. Each of the six
buttons has the below javascript which does the rollover effect. I am
here showing the last two buttons, buttons 5 and 6
Button 6 has no javascript and no<a> tag because this particular code
resides in the contact.htm page itself so I do not need to have button 6
respond as it goes nowhere (we are already at the contact.htm page)
When I temporarily surround the img tag in button 6 with a<A> tag (just
like button 5), the box appears which tells me the<a> tag is causing the
box problem
I hope that explains the problem sufficiently as this is my first post
many thanks in advance for your advice
Well, where does one start ? The real problem, as far as I can see,
is that whilst you are using JavaScript to accomplish the effects
for which you are aiming, there is no evidence at all from the
code that you have posted that you are also using CSS, and this
is a list that is intended to deal with CSS-related issues. If
you are using CSS, and you can point us to it, then we may be able
to offer some help, but whilst I too have many questions related
to cross-browser compatibility using JavaScript, I do not believe
that this is the most appropriate forum in which to raise them
