I have a stylesheet with values for:
a:link
a:visited
a:hover

When the visitor mouses over a link, the text color or
image border color changes to the hover color. Works fine
with text links, and works fine for image links also, in
every browser except IE. IE apparently ignores the a:
style info for image links. Anything I can put in the
stylesheet that will force IE to behave like other
browsers (without messing up their behavior)?

Click to expand...

IE considers the picture border as part of the picture,
and not as part of the hyperlink. So, you have to code:

<img border="5" src="picture.gif
onmouseover="this.style.borderColor='green';"
onmouseout="this.style.borderColor='red';">
