I'm working on this site: http://amberdreams.com
This is a pretty simple site, and I've been using netrenderer.com to make sure that all the pages work in Internet Explorer.
Despite my best efforts, I have not been able to remove the blue border around the facebook and twitter links on the home page for this site when viewing it with Internet Explorer 9.
img {border: none; }
a img {border: 0px; }
I've tried variations of the code above, and it successfully removes the blue border for every version of IE except 9. Any ideas?
Try this in your CSS, worked for me.
img {text-decoration: none; border: 0px}
Try the following instead in your css:
border-style:none;
That should remove your border issue.
I think that should be fine.
You might want to clear your cache and try again...
If not maybe try:
a{border:none}
Visibility of the border around links depends on user settings in IE. Set A {text-decoration: none; border: 0px}.
It seems, that your video-object is not loaded in IE.
Here is great post on removing outline with separate remark about IE9:
George Langley wrote in to say that IE 9 apparently doesn't allow you to remove the dotted outline around links unless you include this meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />
//Add to your CSS
* {-ms-box-sizing:border-box;}
img {outline-style: none;}
//Add to your HTML
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
</head>
in my case the working code (generated by mailchimp and added a rule for 'a') was:
img,a img,a{
border:0;
height:auto;
outline:none;
text-decoration:none;
}
so it is an assumption of other answers
The best way is to add a CSS attribute
a:link, a:visited { text-decoration: none}
If you want to change colors when you hover the mouse, add
a:hover {color: x } // x = the color of your choice

I'm using the font Cardiff in a project and trying to apply the style text-decoration:underline to it.
This works fine in Chrome (Version 35.0.1916.114) but Firefox (Version. 29.0.1) the underline is crossing through the text instead of appearing under it. I believe it's something to do with the Cardiff font because when I try a 'Web Safe' font the underline is displayed correctly.
This is how the Cardiff font is being displayed
If I then change the font to Helvetica, this is how it's displayed
I've tried a few things already:
Wrapping the font in a span tag, then styling this as a block and giving it a height
I've also tried a solution provided in another question
Updated...
Using fixes provided by #touko I've put together a solution that isn't really what I wanted to settle for but it works.
I've used a border for Firefox and regular text-decoration for other browsers.
h2 {
text-decoration: underline;
}
Firefox specific CSS styling as explained on this solution...
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
h2 {
text-decoration: none;
display: inline;
border-bottom: 1px solid #4c2f04;
padding-bottom: 6px;
}
}
I hope someone finds a better solution than this though because it's more of a bodge job if anything.
Seems like an issue with the font, you could try running it through the Font Squirrel Web Font Generator to see if that fixes it.
Just dont use vertical-align: middle
The similar problem is here: Link underline appearing above text in Firefox?
But looks like your problem is with a font itself.
I do not recommend to do a hack like border under the text. Search for other font.
body {
font-family: Cardiff;
font-size: 24px;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

Demo text

You could use border-bottom as underline and set the space below to desirable with padding.
yourtxt-wrap{text-decoration:overline}
yourtxt-wrap{text-decoration:line-through}
yourtxt-wrap{text-decoration:underline}
My HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
/* Make all anchors and variations plain black text color */
a,
a:link,
a:hover,
a:focus,
a:active,
a:selected,
a:visited
{
color:#000000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
This is a visited link that is puple
</body>
</html>
When I visit this page, and click on the link, the text color is purple like the default color of a visited link. How can this be? How can I make the <a> text black in all circumstances?
This reproduces in Chrome and IE9; haven't bothered to test anything else yet.
Remove a:selected from your css definition. That fixed it for me. Never heard of :selected. Is it documented anywhere?
Because a:selected doesn't exist. Remove it!
Removing the a:selected, seems to fix it. Not sure why as that is a valid option on the anchor tag.
Correction: a:selected isn't valid but a.selected is of course valid. Sorry about that, but either way removing a:selected will fix the issue.
Fiddler Example
The following selector is declared in external stylesheet
p:first-letter
{
color: red;
}
But it doesn't make the first letter in <p> element turn red. It does work when this is declared in internal css.
Yes it can.
What you wrote should work just fine; are you sure you are linking to the external stylesheet correctly?
This works perfectly fine for me in Firefox 3.6.x:
external-selector.htm
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="external-selector.css" type="text/css">
<style type="text/css">
p { color: blue; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Paragraph!</p>
</body>
</html>
external-selector.css
p:first-letter {
color: red;
}
output
I had this problem as well, and after over an hour of messing with Firefox I figured out that it's the InvisibleHand addon that is causing this problem for me. When I disabled it, the problem went away.
I have emailed their info email address asking them to fix the bug.
it seems any other CSS is conflicting.
try if it work
p:first-letter
{
color: red !important;
}
I had the same problem described here. I knew the external stylesheet was being applied because I could see other styles being applied. After reading Heptite's answer I decided I'd try updating Firefox. This fixed the problem.
So, perhaps this was a bug that got fixed in the latest Firefox (v39.0)
I want my submit buttons + links to look as buttons and the same in all browsers.
Firefox 3.5 plays nice. But IE6,7,8 have all different looks. Can you help me with that (apparently) simple task?

You can replace the Submit button with an image the same way you do it with a background-image for a link. Simply get rid of the background and border, put the background-url in the input selector, and give it the right width and height.
input{
background-color: white;
border: 0;
background-image: url('blah.png');
}
For the button instead of type="submit" use type="image".
For instance:
<button type="image" src="path_to_your_image.png">Buy now</button>
For link you can use css to set the background of your link:
background-image: url('path_to_your_image.png');
I take it you do understand that you'll never get them to look exactly the same, since even in Firefox 3.5 they don't look exactly the same for me.
And apart from purely the style, they'll always have different behavior. For example, buttons will respond differently to tabbing or clicking (some browsers "depress" the text), buttons won't show the URL they point to in contrast with links, and you can select the text of a link, but not that of a button.
You can fix the most glaring differences on IE6 and 7 quite easily, though.
Add this to the CSS for your buttons (<button> and <input>):
overflow: visible;
You can put it inside a stylesheet for IE6/7 only, though this shouldn't affect any other browser, since visible is actually the default value. But for some reason this fixes the inconsistencies with the padding, compared to that for the link, on IE6 and IE7.
And add the following to the CSS for the link. All browsers need this, to make the link behave more like a block element, just like the buttons:
display: inline-block;
I know this is an old question, but I recently ran into this issue and didn't want to use any images in my layout. The solution I came up with (after making the links blocks, as others suggested) was to explicitly setup the borders, fonts, and background colors. To get the borders to match, set them individually. Originally I was trying to use outset borders, but I had better success using solid borders with specific colors for top, left, bottom, and right. (I chose the colors based on what firefox was using for its outset borders.) Hope this helps someone. Also, adding a border-radius to the links and buttons makes them a bit cleaner.
If you want a uniform appearance, you'll need to use an image submit button.
You could always use a JavaScript framework to replace the element with one that is more stylable or use MSIE's conditional comments for browser-specific styling.
Sad truth is cross-browser pixel perfection seems impossible with pure CSS and buttons.
Has anyone been able to succesfully use the IE CSS hack #IEroot? I stumbled upon it from this article but it doesn't seem to work for me.
I'm trying to fix/hack the inline styling bug to produce li inline blocks
#featured li {
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
width:317px;
height:310px;
display:inline-block;
border-left:1px #bdbdbd solid;
}
#IEroot #featured li {
display:inline;
}
Any help would be greatly apperciated, thanks.
IT DOES WORK, exactly as described, EVEN in IE8, and is actually a pretty smart CSS hack to get around IE specific bugs.
You MUST swap out the DOCTYPE line for a REAL DOCTYPE though first.
Here is the code from the link, tweaked to be a working sample.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<style>
/* all browsers make border red */
#IE { border : 2px solid red; }
/* all browsers see this, but only IE thinks #IEroot exists as an element and makes border blue */
#IEroot #IE { border-color : blue; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<!--[if IE]>
<div id="IEroot">
<![endif]-->
<p id="IE">This browser is IE. (red in all, blue in IE)</p>
<p id="notIE">This browser is not IE.</p>
<!--[if IE]>
</div>
<![endif]-->
</body>
</html>
I'm using a beta of IE8, and the example on the page that you are referring to does not work. The live demo also doesn't seem to take IE8 in count.
These kinds of hacks are clever, but I'd advice you to stay away from it.
Whenever you encounter differences between browsers, there are always alternative ways to do the same thing in such a way that it works for all browsers.
I've made more websites full of CSS than I can count, and I never ever resort to browser-specific code, especially not the kind that exploits bugs in specific versions of browsers. They solve a tiny problem today, but give you twice the headaches tomorrow, and are a bitch to maintain.
If you insist on using such a hack, make sure to add a comment like this:
/* >>>>>>> BUTT-UGLY BROWSER HACK! FIX ME!!!!! <<<<<<<< */
#IEroot #featured li {
display:inline;
}
