Re: Link Colors

Bizarre eh? Go figure. So it was the border thing all along huh? I don't
know why I even had that in there. I think I cut and pasted that from a
different style sheet I was using and just never got rid of the border
attribute. Thanks for taking the time to solve this perplexing puzzle. Now I
don't have to worry about browser sniffers.

Thanks again,
Lisa
