Invisible links in Directory pages

With the current colour scheme in the "Directory" page, links in the central "Wildlife directory" dissappear as their highlight setting is white, as can be seen from other links in for example, the "Top listings" block on the right of the page. Checked in Firefox and IE, same result in both browsers.

As this section is contained in one table suggest using a "class" attribute setting a different highlight colour purely for that table.

Re: Invisible links in Directory pages

Thanks for spotting that Mike, I've now changed the hover link to a dark red

Cheers

Stuart

Most are 16x16 but "confused" is 16x21 so the face appears to move, but I'm sure you knew that !.

For the nerds amongst us -
In the smilies box they have a "bottom" alignment for the table row so all appear the same.
I've tried the smilies locally in some tables and they can be aligned all the same way, but in the posts they also have <div> elements and an image class of "inlineimg", this makes it more complicated, so it's off to Stuart and the tecchies if you really want it fixed.

For me I'm back to making the tea.

Re: Invisible links in Directory pages

Looking at the css reveals:

/* ***** don't change the following ***** */
form { display: inline; }
label { cursor: default; }
.normal { font-weight: normal; }
.inlineimg { vertical-align: middle; }

which shows the problem.

Easiest solution would be to make all the images the same dimensions and pad the smaller ones. I've got a script here for doing just that in PSPX if Stuart wants to email me the images I'll get it sorted...
