 RE: Page Links are still underlined (in reply to fotoman)

To be honest your code is a mess. You have tried to use CSS in the head tags,
BODY {background: #ffffff}
body { background-image: url('3-mages/') } (what image???)
BODY {font-family:Trebuchet MS}
BODY {color:#000000}
Then in the body tag you have added non browser friendly margin settings
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="3">
All that can be condensed into this:
body {
margin: 3px 0 0 0;
background-image: url('3-mages/image.jpg')
background-color: #fff;
font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; arial; sans-serif;
color: #000;
}
and put into an external stylesheet
But you then go on to give tons of inline styling to the content of your site. That is not really browser compatible. i.e. all this:
<font size="2" face="Verdana" color="#0000FF"><b><a href="hibernian.htm">Click
Here for Details</a></b></font></p>
The font size, font family, color, bold .. that should all be in a stylesheet and not on the page.
You need a doctype for your pages also.
You have then copied and pasted from an email, pasting a lot of really bad formatting that has been picked up from the email ... all this (and a lot more I have not shown):

---------------------------------
and you end that pasting with closing tags ....
NOTE:: the CSS in all that .. it is telling your links to be underlined !!!!
That is where your page is going wrong. You cannot go and copy and paste from either an email or another webpage without first pasting into, say Notepad, i.e. a text editor, which will strip all the formatting off the pasting. Then you can copy from notepad and paste into your webpage. But also look at the bad coding, that doesnt even resemble html .....
I suggest, if you are unable to tidy up coding, i.e. get rid of all the inline styling and put it into a stylesheet and then make sure further edits are not styled on the page but via the stylesheet, that you upgrade to Expression Web. That will do all the styling for you. You would have to start again, as it wont correct what you have already done, but it will do it right in the first place.
FrontPage is a very dated program now. Fine if you know what you are doing, know how to code and just use FP as a convenient tool, you can then get a very passable website out of it as long as you help it along. But if you dont know coding, or how to apply CSS then if you are wanting any sort of professinal website that will view in the most popular browsers and be SE friendly, then upgrade to EW and start again, it would pay you in the long run.
So what you need to do now is remove all that code you pasted from the email, paste it into notepad, recopy from notepad then paste back into your webpage. That will strip the formatting from it and your normal links will work again.
