We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Sorry, the formatting for that is getting too damn weird because, not surprisingly, the text processing here really doesn't like to process PHP. I'll post on LJ and link in a few.

Here's the code I'm driving myself nuts over:

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dumb html question.

If you have an <a> tag with a graphic that you can click as the link, how do you eliminate the purple border that you get that shows the button has been pressed?

eta: I mean, besides just using a function call instead....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

As part of the <a> tag? Doesn't work.

eta: But it works as part of the <img> tag. Cool!

Oops! Yes, because it's an attribute of the image, and I didn't think through a full example before phone-posting.

I put img {border:0;} in my style sheets.

Good idea. Except this huge web application only has a single instance of an image as part of an <a> tag - every other button has a javascript function call instead.

Which is why the Mystery of the Purple Border Around the Button remained unaddressed until now.

Those images are sneaky bastards.

Anyone know of a wireless print server that's Mac-compatible and cheaper than Airport Express? The printer is an Epson if that makes a difference.
