Adding borders...

I have an anchor using a class that defines a hover subclass. The issue is
that the anchor itself doesn't have any border and when hovered it adds a
border, the problem is that when it adds the border, the text gets shifted.
Does anyone have any idea how to correct this issue? I would like to create
a transparrent or invisible border (spacer) so that there's room for the
visible border to appear when needed but I cannot seem to get it to work.
Visit http://callandermats.adconn.com/ and hover over left links to see what
I mean. The style sheet for this is:

..menu{
font-size:12px;
text-decoration:none ;
}
..menu:hover{
border-style:groove;
border-width:1;
width=100%;
}

Thanks!

Wow, no I don't develop web sites for blind visitors. None of my clients
even consider that as an issue since their products are almost always
visual. Google has never had an issue indexing our pages.

Black is a background color.

So yep your right, I guess I should spend lots of time dealing with issues
that might effect 0.001% of potential visitors (not).

Gotta say that my clients are very happy, some of which make millions of
dollars on their web sites without anyone saying "hey, one of our customers
cannot tell what we have to offer cuz they don't want to download graphics".
Once I get a few comments like that I may devote a bit more time
concentrating on textual sites.

Any more questions?


Are any of your clients in the UK? Because if they are your
are leaving them open to action under the disability

You need not put ALT="bla bla bla" (commonly referred as "alt
tags") in images (or img) tags.


Really? Take your pages here, then.

Only newbies call them alt tags.

OOps sorry steve, forgot to mention that, as I was posting the problem a
possible solution occured to me. You just responded too fast for me to say
I got it fixed. Thanks for the help though!


You for one is exactly ignorant, to the base level of the word itself.

Post to usenet, wait for a discussion to start which may give you
several possibilities on how to solve your problem.

DO NOT change the turf for the guys who might be inclined to help you
out (but in your case I doubt you have many of those left here for you).

I've been trying to figure out a good way to make a CSS layout with nice-looking 1-pixel borders around the table cells.

Hi, For a project at school we have to automate the assignment of seats in classrooms to students during the exams. The lady who previously did everything manually kept the layouts of the classrooms in an excel-document: 1 sheet per classroom, and she marked the cells which represent the seats with a border. The problem however is that she sometimes merged cells together to get a better layout.
