I am attaching a screen shot of a site that I am viewing in IE7. There is an image not showing up and there are three blue and purple borders appearing on the navigation images.

   Hi Michael,

   The images not showing are almost always caused by broken images (ie the src attribute for the <img> tag points to an image that does not exist on the web server). Can you confirm the image(s) have been published and the paths are correct?

   For the borders around the images, this occurs within Internet Explorer when you surround an <img> tag with a link. IE applies the link's styles by adding a border around the image (the purple border is for a visited link). Try adding something like the following to your CSS:

   a img { border: none; }
   

   Please let me know if you have any questions.

   Thanks

   Do I add that tag in the embedded style/css in my HTML?

   Hi Michael,

   You can add these styles to either your <style> tag or any CSS file you are loading with a <link> tag.

   If you are looking to add them to the <style> tag you provided, I would probably put the CSS I provided above below your a styles towards the bottom so you can keep them together and organized.

   Please let me know if you have any questions.

   Thanks
