hey all, im having a small problem with our website and i wondered if anyone could give me a little help,
i recently added a piece of HTML code to our pages so that the links would not be underlined,and it worked..except i have to publish our nav bar as an image because the font on it would not be on most computers.
now when i publish it as an image the underlining is back. is this something i will just have to put up with or is there something i could do?
thank you,

sorry,im a newbie and cant explain too well, page is here (http://www.thedardanelles.net/home)
where the links are,the font i used wont display on other computers therefore i had to publish the text box (with the links) as an image,and so underlining is back,it does seem like a strange one,

from what i can see its not a problem with your code.
the font is actually underlined in the image.
you need to remove the under line and resave it. you with me?
another thing... dont use png images they have a large file size. use .gif or .jpg
and another one image i looked at was called home.html.png not a very good naming convention i could not open it beacause pc thought it was a html file. even when i told the pc it was a png file it would not open it. dont use any fullstops in the name use an underscore home_html.png.

ya im with ya,thing is i didnt underline it,when i link the text it underlines it automatically,so the code was over-riding if ya know what i mean,il live with it anyway i guess.
i cant remember naming any file .png but i did notice it when uploading files,not even sure how thats come about but will look into that alright.thanks a lot for the help.

no i dont think you know what i mean.
if you use an image for a link there is no way ( unless you use some css and layers and absolute positioning ) that any code will make the text in that image underline.
the underline is in the image source.

I checked the image by opening it in another page, and the underline is still there. As Andy said, it's a problem with your image, not with the code.
Try saving it again.

HI there, it seems to be a small issue. Just open the page in frontpage , select the text link that you wnat to display as non underlined and just click on the underline icon in front page, you are done.

thanks a lot gang,wil try that now.
i dont think i explained myself very well the last time,i know the code isn't the problem at all 'cos it's working for the text that isnt being published as an image,as in a normal link.

This is not a problem with the image!
In fact, it is not a problem at all.
It is just the font. The font was made to have an underline like that.
