I have a webcomic, and this weekend I was trying to redo my page. I decided I was going to add an image map. I then did so, with Frontpage(in case that's a factor in my problem). I then uploaded it to see how it looked, and something weird happened, it now has a blue outline around the whole image. It's weird because my links are set ot be a gray color anyway, not blue. The blue seemed to have come from nowhere. I would like to get rid of this outline, but I have no idea how.
Additionally, if you notice on the right, there's the gray link color around the linked buttons, I would also like to know how to get rid of it around them.
So, basically, I would like to know what the deal is with the blue outline, as in why it showed up, and how I fix it. I would also like to know how to get rid of the gray link border from the link buttons.

Here's the page:

Feel free to view my source to try and figure out my problem.

Thank you so much in advance to anyone who is nice enough to help!

When you have an <img> tag wrapped in <a href="#"></a>, it defaults the border to a blue line. To get rid of the image border do this:

<a href="#"><img src="whatever.jpg" border="0"></a>

and for the links on the right, do the same thing. Just write <img src="whatever.jpg" border="0"> for the images.

Generally, to avoid those sorts of effects, set the image border="0":


<img src="whatever" border="0">

This is also true of images used with image maps.

Umm.. not to be rude or anything, but didn't I just say that :)

Check out the time index of the two messages, yours wasn't even there when I originally hit the reply button. After I hit the submit button, I did what I always do, I went on to the next thing.

It's called cross posting. I notice that I am often the second one in such cases because I usually look at the source to make sure my solution will work with it, spell-check my response, and preview it a few times.

Ok, that makes sense
