I got two questions. One is how do I get rid of lines under links in Firefox?
This code -

<style type="text/css"> <STYLE> <!-- a { text-decoration: none;} --> </style>

- works fine for getting rid of links in IE6 but FF seems to ignore it.


Second question is, why does one page show a bigger space in IE than in FF?

Here is a link to the page I am talking about.
http://www.arapahocampground.com/camp.html

The space that is between the table that starts out "Camping" and the table that starts out saying "Rates" is the space I would like to minimize to just a thin line. It doesn't have to dissappear completely. In FF, it is like I want it but in IE the space is bigger. This problem just started when I uploaded it to Yahoo Small Business Hosting, it wasn't like this when I was working on it on my pc. If you click on the link "Floating" you'll see that how I want it.

Also does anyone know if Yahoo's hosting is screwy or what... I don't know if it is Yahoo's hosting or IE but some of my pages would show only part of them when I was editing them after uploading.

Any answers to these questions is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You used the right CSS, but you commented it out (<!-- -->), and used an extra <style> tag. I don't know if comments can be used in a style tag as they can be in script tags, but certainly are not needed. Try this:

 <style type="text/css">a { text-decoration: none;}</style>

I recommend using an external file for styling, but this will work as well.

I only have access to IE7 and FF2 at the moment, and the small space looks the same in both browsers. Whatever the issue is, it's probably only in IE6.

Thanks Frost,

The info on how to get rid of the lines in FF under the links worked. I am new to building pages and when I need some code, I google it and take what I get and if it seems to work (which it did in IE6) then I keep it. I decided I better see what it looks like in FF and that is when I noticed it didn't take the lines out from underneath the links in FF. But all is good now.

As far as the extra space, it has to do with Yahoo Small Business Hosting keeping track of visitors but it messed up my page. I also noticed that the pages wouldn't load the whole page but unless you knew what the page looked like, you wouldn't know the whole page didn't load. I will never use Yahoo for hosting after having so much trouble with them. They changed my file extensions and then changed my code in my pages and then even after I got it all right, they wouldn't load the whole page. I convinced the site owners to switch to another hosting company. Too bad they had to lose a setup fee due to Yahoo's screwy service.

IE is VERY loosey-goosey in how it renders code, hence the reason for FF NOT obeying your flawed rule - FF is much more standards-compliant and strict. In short, FF was doing it RIGHT and IE was doing it WRONG.

You'd be much better off designing and testing in FF FIRST, then kick IE's butt until it is as close to correct as it can get.
