I need help with dreamweaver.

Isar

Does anyone here use dreamweaver? I'm making a website in dreamweaver, and when i link one picture to another page, theres a blue frame around it that i cant get away.. anyone know what i can do to get it away?

This isn't really a photography forum question... more Web design.

Isar

I just wondered since some people in here actually uses dreamweaver, and other programs to make a website for their photographs, the same as i'm trying to do.

Well I'm going to take a shot in the dark.. have you saved it as a .html file and viewed it in firefox/IE/etc? And is the blue box still there? I've a feeling it shouldn't be - only there for design purpose.

Go into code view and stick this up the top before </head>

<style>
a img { border:none; }
</style>

I don't know about dreamweaver, sorry. You are looking for some border property on the link. I hand code everything I do so I cant be more helpful, sorry.

The blue border points out that it's a link. It's standard browser behavior.

set the image border to 0 if you are using the "you get what you see set up"

That indicates that you have visited the link that it points to.

It will be different colours depending on whether it has been clicked or not. Setting border=0 in the IMG properties should turn it off. Been absolutely ages since I used DW though.

thanks it helped when i put in a 0 on the border.. but now i have a problem with underlines that appears when i link text to another webpage...any more tips?

You can use simple style sheets that control all links. Like on this site when you hover over a link, the text turns orange.

In code view, at the top of the site before </head> put.

<style>
a { text-decoration:none; }
</style>

Just have a play around with it. If you want when you are finished you can pass it over to me and I will fix whatever small bits you want fixing for you after.

You need to sort yourself out some hosting, take a look at the hosting forum (It's in the Tech hierarchy here) for recommendations. There are also free hosts floating around, but I don't know any offhand so you will need to google them.

Isar

thank alot could you pm me here, and then when i'm done i could let you have a look at it

Just drop me a message whenever you are done and I will give you contact details.

Just so you know - you can also customise this instead of turning it off altogether. So you can have something like:
a img {
border: 1px solid #3b3636;
padding: 5px;
}
a img:hover{
border: 1px solid #990000;
padding: 5px;
}

Which on my site gives the image link a thin light grey border which changes to a deep red when hovered over with the mouse. And of course you can specify a :visited color too - just change the hex numbers. Or change your link colour to your background colour to have it invisible altogether- a img: {#your background color

This only changes image links, so you can still have your normal text links underlined etc (good navigational practise IMHO - people parse web text for underlined links (read here!) so its not really the done thing to remove them completely. Unless they're in a div with no other a links.

Confused? Me too:) Again, if you're stuck give me a shout:D
