dashed lines! invisible

[itchyfeet]

Hey

Ok...clearly I have not set something up correctly.

If you go to my main page, http://itchyfeet.smugmug.com

you can see under Featured Galleries and Gallery Categories there is no line. If you highlight everything you will then see that under each, there is a dashed line...but that this is invisible.

1. How do I change the colour in the CSS to make the dashed/dotted line visible?

2. How do I change the style of the dashed line to be a continuous line, for example, of maybe a pattern?

Thanks
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Moved to SmugMug Customization forum.

I looked at your site in Firefox, and in Safari, both as logged-in user and logged out, I can't see any dashed lines, Elliot :dunno

One of the styling experts can answer your other question. Thanks :thumb

only shows up in IE.

Elliot, i cant see anything in your code that would cause this directly, but i did notice that you have tables for your nav bar.

You have a missing </td> tag right after this line of code


<font color="#FFFFFF">links</font></a><font color="#FFFFFF"></font>
that missing </td> may be causing the weirdness. Fix that then see what happens.

If you do a search in this forum for "customizing for dummies", you'll find a bunch of information on how to make a nav bar without tables. It really is the preferred method and makes it easier for us style guys to help you out.

See here's the thing. The browsers are doing exactly what you are asking them to do. You've set the smugmug color to white which by default makes the div.box background gray and the div.boxTop bottom border white. Then you overrid the div.box background to be white but didn't specify anything about the color (or the existence of) the bottom border. It's still there because you haven't done anything to remove it...

So just add this to your CSS.

.boxTop {border:0;}
