Differences between browsers driving me crazy!

Hi Guys...
Im putting together a site using dreamweaver cs5.
Basic CSS, xhtml etc.

Now the site looks ok in Chrome and firefox, but in internet explorer my masthead image has a horrible purple border on it, and my nav bar has its hover over image as black which obscures the text.

I've no idea where the code for this is coming from, and cant figure it out...

Any help on how to fix it?
Thanks
John

Maybe if you post a link we might be able to help you...

Is the code anywhere online we can take a look at?

The purple border sounds like a visited link. If your image is a link, try adding the following to your CSS:
[html]a img{
border:0
}[/html]
That should stop all images used as a link from having borders.

What way are you creating the rollover image in the nav bar? Make sure all paths are correct. Are the images PNG with transparency? IE6 had issues with PNG transparency, not sure about the later versions.

Hi Guys, Im stuck trying to upload my site from CS5 to godaddy.com I bought a .ie domain from letshost.ie yeaterday. Then i bought 3 months linux hosting from godaddy.com I went through the setup process with godaddy.com online and i can log in using their web based client to see files on my part of their server. But i cant ftp to it using CS5 Nor can i use firefox to navigate to my domain 'live' I didnt do anything from the letshost.ie side of things, mainly as it wouldnt let me log in.

The DNS may not have changed yet, you should be able to see them later today once a reload occurs on the servers. In the meantime there should be a temporary FTP you can use to connect to the server and later change it to ftp.domain.xxx

Thanks!
Very odd timing but letshost.ie just sent me a mail about more info i need to fax them etc. before they finish registration.
So that was probably part of the problem!
Now, where to find a fax machine?

Not uncommon with a .ie registration. Most categories of registration require supporting documentation.
