Hi Janine,

I’ve found your Dreamweaver CS3 tutorial extremely helpful and easy to understand, I highly recommend them to everyone.

I have one question: My menu and links have an outline (a dotted line) only when clicked. . . not the kind that’s fixed by using Property Inspector. After checking the digital family Web site I noticed it also happens with all your links and buttons. Is there any way I can remove it? It’s not that noticeable on the digital family Web site, but my Web site has a black background and the outlines that appear are white. I would greatly appreciate any insight you could offer.

Thank you,

Sandra

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for the kind words about my videos.

If your menu and links have an outline only when clicked, you may be able to adjust the corresponding CSS style. You can edit most of the link styles by choosing Modify –Page Properties and then changing the styles for the links, but if you have an outline around a link, that you’d have to edit in the CSS Styles Panel.

First, choose Window CSS Styles (to open the panel).

In the CSS Styles panel, select the All tab at the top and then look for the link styles, which should be named as follows:

a:link – controls how the link looks when the page first loads

a:visited – controls how the link looks after someone has clicked on the link

a:hover – controls how the link looks when someone rolls a cursor over it

a:active – controls how the link looks when someone is actively clicking on the link

Double-click the name of any style in the CSS Styles panel to open it in the CSS Rule Definition dialog. There you can click on the Border category and add or remove a border by adjusting the settings.

I hope that helps you solve your problem and I truly appreciate that you recommend my videos.

All my best,
Janine
