Where is this border coming from?

Please look at this page:

http://www.eclipsme.com/rockledge/Calendar/january06.htm

There is a thin cayan line above 'Home', and I can't figure out where
it is coming from. It appears to be a border, but I do not see what
item has a border.

The page is made up of included pages for the menu, header, and main
portions.

Thanks,

I had a look and it is strange. To me it looks like a table border, but just
about every border is set to zero ("0")

The hex value for cyan is #0000FF and this doesn't appear anywhere. But
perhaps it isn't exactly cyan

This is the code in menu.htm (up to the Home tag) is:
<body bgcolor="#C4DEFF" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" link="#C0C0C0"
vlink="#C0C0C0" alink="#C0C0C0">
<div align="left">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#008080" width="170"
id="AutoNumber1" style="border-collapse: collapse" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="178" valign="top" background="images/lamppost_04.jpg"
style="border-left-width: 0; border-right-width: 0; border-top-width: 0;
border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 0" height="517">
&nbsp;
<div align="right">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" width="75%" id="AutoNumber3"
cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%" align="center" height="15"><font
color="#008080" size="2"><b>
<a href="index.html">Home</a></b></font></td>
</tr>

Nowhere can I see a non-zero border

This table definition encloses menu.htm
<table border="5" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#008080" width="790"
id="AutoNumber1" height="649" cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse:
collapse">
This has a non-zero border but its bordercolor is teal.

Unless the interaction of the different colours causes it to appear cyan

The only thought left to me is that it is in the background image.
Well, it ain't (I just checked)

But this might have some bearing on it:
......... border-bottom-style: solid ...........

The line appears at the bottom of the image, and the bottom border style is
set to solid
What would happen if you removed the border style (or set it to none,
whatever is legal)?

Debugging is such fun :-))
Let me know if this is correct
 
It is a greenish color and it's because of the border color
(bordercolor="#008080") specified for the main table. You can make it
disappear by setting the border size to zero for the main table. That
will also make the border around the table go away.

But #008080 is Teal, which is a deepish blue rather than a lighter blue.
Does this become closer to green when placed on top of other colours ?

I think it is specifically the border of the image which is showing.
 
The line seems to be coming from the table border, and is set to Teal, not
Cyan, which I mistakenly said in my original post.

The only way that I have found to get rid of the line, is to remove the
table border entirely, which I do not want to do.

The 'image' has no border that I can find.

What is causing this?

Thanks,
Harvey
 
check the cell props on the cell containing the home.htm include - try
removing the color there

Tried changing the color - no effect.

The *only* way that I seem able to affect it is to set the entire table to
no border.

Well, at least it does not seem to be a 'dumb' mistake.

I have deleted the earlier posts so I can't check the URL again (or even
what I wrote).

But the lamppost image *did* have a border.

In my post, I wrote out what it was. Something like bottom-border=.......

Send me the URL again and I'll find it for you.

If I remember correctly, removing this should do the trick, it doesn't need
all the borders to be removed.

As an aside, I sometimes wonder if all the posts get through in sync,
because I often see an answer which is similar to mine or even one which
ignores completley what I have posted.

This is not a criticism of you, just a query on how the NG works.

Still, I am in Australia, so there are time differences to take into account
as well

Line 15:
<td width="178" valign="top" background="images/lamppost_04.jpg"
style="border-left-width: 0; border-right-width: 0; border-top-width: 0;
border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 0" height="517">

I notice
border-bottom-style: solid
Try
border-bottom-style: none
http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_border-bottom_style.asp

Although there is border-bottom-width: 0 which may mean that the style has
no effect anyway
