If I turn javascript off in FF and go to my site, click on "Email US" a dot apears in the top left corner and changes with mouseover (like a link on the site)and for the life of me I can't find it in my code. Maybe it's my eyes!!! anyhoo if a fresh set of eyes can find it it would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure wher the email us option is meant to be I just get JS errors when hovering over anything, that's before I even turn JS off!

Hi

In fact that is not just a dot, is the dotted border around the selected link. Its collapsing into a single dot is probably related to the invalid markup :
Code: 
<h4 style = "color:blue">Email Us</h4[red][b]>[/b][/red]

It could be the focus rectangle not displaying correctly - because the markup is invalid (you have a block-level H4 inside an inline Anchor).

Just a guess...

The first thing I'd do is make sure the page Validates:

Line 195, Column 104: document type does not allow element "H4" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag.

…Site%20Info"><h4 style = "color:blue">Email Us</h4</a></noscript>

?

The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.

One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
Click to expand...



With that said, what you are seeing is a by product of your A:hover settings. and a phantom space in the link tag between where the link space starts and where the <h4> tag starts.


Remove the H4 tag from there, and style the link either with a class or an ID if its the only one.
