Hi, odd thing just started today. In the center panel, at least when I am looking/working in IE and FF, ALL text in center panel goes to underline when the cursor is in the area. If the cursor is in the header, nav or footer or outside of the browser window it reverts/goes back to normal.
I have no idea why this started happening and I can't think of anything I am aware of that changed to cause this.
Anyone know how to stop this from happening. Only site hyperlinks should be underlined which is how it has always been since my early set-up days.
Oh, and the default.asp main panel does not do this...
Here is the example page http://184(dot)173.104.168/shaving-products-and-em's-trumper-proraso-musgo-tabac-speick-shave-creams-alum.asp
and here is a picture example www(dot)coastalem(dot)com/ECT/ect-underline.htm
Please, how do I stop this from happening. Thank you:-) |

Hi it appears that your missing closing tags </a> on the anchor links </a> you will need to go through the links and make sure each has a closing tag.
Another method is to validate the page http://validator.w3.org/ to locate problems with the html.

Sinbad, can you please give me an example of which closing tag you are referencing here to give me an idea of what you are looking at or talking about.
Sorry, but I am blanking out by what you mean by the "anchor links" - as mentioned an example or two would really help.
Thank you:-) |

Hi there is quite a few things going on its would be best if you validate the html. Example:
<a href="mens-life-today-on-line-shaving-grooming-what-is-new-guide-for-men-.asp">Online how-to guide for men<a></div>
Change that to </a>

Sorry to bother again. I looked at the validation link, and do I understand correctly...
does the line number refer to the line of code in the respective web page document.
And what does the column mean?
Example:
Line 1005, Column 6: end tag for element "div" which is not open
So to solve this would I open Expression Web, the respective web page with the errors, go t line 1005? And what is the column reference about. I see those right after the line number.
Anyway, just wanting to know where to solve/change those errors at.
Thanks again:-) |

Hi there line numbers are pretty close but what I do when using the validator is to check the box show source, then you can click on the error and it will take you directly to the line in the source code.
Generally when you see a error stating end tag for element "xxx" which is not open, it could be a couple of things either there are too many end tags or the end tag is mis-placed within the html. When opening a tag you should close the tag after the element, however some tags are self-closing tags such as images and break tags example:
<img src="images/ImageName.jpg" alt="" />
<br />

Hi Sinbad, so appreciate this information. I understand about the end tags and see there are errors that need addressed.
For the underline of text on the product, proddetail and other main content area content I was thinking if it was a css issue, although I didn't change anything in that file today. Odd, how I just noticed this where it wasn't happening before.
Just pestering you:-)... one last time to see if you have an opinion about what would cause text to underline like that. I would think the css would play into this, but if html in the page file that is confusing. Since it is on ALL the pages, and not just on one, that would seem to be a more global issue. Oh well, another mystery rears its head... |

Hi check in the css file for text-decoration:underline; but I really think its a link that has not been closed as it only occurs when mousing over the page.

Sinbad, yeah. Just wanted to let you know you were correct. It took me all afternoon to find it, but I guess the other day when I added some content to the left nav using the admin content regions I had an href that was closed with <a> and once I found it and changed it to </a> problem solved. I didn't notice the problem that caused until today however...
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. And the W3 validation is good to know about - and sort of depressing because I have a lot of error to address at some point. Doesn't seem to affect the functionality of the site, but want to get it cleaned up.
