Link Color Problem in Internet Explorer

Question

I am completely new to Dreamweaver and I only know how to
make a very basic page using the design view. I have added some
images to my site that are links, and they should have black
borders both before and after being visited. However, these links
only have black borders in Safari. In IE and Firefox the borders
are blue, and then green or purple once visited. I would like them
to be black all the time. How can I fix this? Is there a way to do
it using only the design view?

Hello,
Add this CSS right before your </head> tag so it looks
like this:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
a img {border:2px solid #000000;}
-->
</style>
</head>
If you want the border to change color on hover:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
a img {border:2px solid #000000;}
a:hover {background:transparent;}
a:hover img {border:2px solid #CCCCCC;}
-->
</style>
</head>
The a:hover {background:transparent;} fixes a bug in IE5/6
where you can't hover over an image link without first declaring a
hover rule for that link (go figure!) It was fixed in IE7, but many
still use IE6.
Take care,
Tim
