hyperlink issue

[NewbiDoobie]

I have an image that when clicked should go to another page. When I tried to add on the hyperlink, there seems to be a grey bar at the bottom of my image and it seems to have now widened.

<td><a href="../free_demo.asp"><img src="img/try_it_now.gif" width="172" height="36"></a></td>

the original code when the box looked great was:

<td><img src="img/try_it_now.gif" width="172" height="36"></td>


how do I fix this?

If around the image appears a blue square, then that is the default behaviour (in many browsers and OSes) that linked image has. However, since you describe a grey bottom border, I would think there is a style set for that somewhere in the css. Show us your css (or post a link to it) so that we can see it.

Are you sure it isn't just the color change caused by going from an un-visited link to a visited link?
If that is indeed the cause, you can set up some CSS to eliminate the changes caused by active, visited, etc., links.

Could it be the background of the table cell <td> showing where the image is not tall enough to fill the cell. ?

Try changing the background color of the cell, does the gray bar change also??

I shrunk it and the extended box went away. The grey line was a new update to the graphic (changed it on me since this morning).

Now I am just down to how to make the border go away and I will be set

If you're talking about the blue border appearing around the image (a little more transparency in your describing problems would not hurt), then this is the best way to do it. Put this in the head of the document:

<style type="text/css">
a img { border: none; }
</style>
