Re: Images & mouseovers

John,

Following my 24-36 hour crash course, /any/ style attributes are not 
allowed in XHTML tags. So, borders must be attributed in the style sheet. 
Darrell kindly sent this:

.imgBorder { border: solid; border-width: 2; border-color: #FF0000 }

then:
<.img class="imgBorder" ...

But, using it as img class is not recognized by NN 4.5. So, he suggested 
using a div tag, but XHTML only allows one div tag, so I would have to make 
up imgBorder1, imgBorder2, etc. in order to get it to look right /and/ 
validate -- next time around, I'm puttin 'em right on the dog-gone picture.

Because, setting one border in CSS means you have to set 'em all, so 
borderNone for image links as a class tag doesn't work in NN --

Having fun yet??

And, still no progress on the mouseovers -- yet. A few attempts and ideas, 
but none that validate, so I guess I'll end up going with the 
tried-and-true even if it doesn't validate. Rats, I really like to validate 
too.

HTH,
Tamara
