This will probably be an annoying question to you gurus, but I just started messing with this stuff, and I have no idea what I am doing.

The company I work for is tired of dealing with flaky web designers, and has tapped me to learn how to manage and update our website.

The site is: www.shopmojo.com

The problem is, on page 1, there are visible blue boxes around some of the shirts in IE, on Windows. On my Mac, I can't see the boxes in Safari or IE.

Seeing as how 95% will be able to see these boxes, I need to know what I have done wrong to make them visible.

And on the site, be kind, its my first time.

:o

Could you post a screenshot for those of us not around a PC?

I'm not on a PC so I can't check, but try setting the images' borders to 0, eg (for the image on the front page):
<img src="Images/heatherhome.jpg" width="324" height="585" border="0">

You might also want to validate the site at http://validator.w3.org, then it will be more likely to display consistently between browsers.

that happens because of default styling for links that contain images. to combat this, you can use some CSS...


a img, a:link img { border: 0; }
