# 2 Theme Problems

 * I use 2.7.1 and am having problems with, i believe, CSS. I am trying to do something
   simply but having unexpected problems.
    The first problem i am having is i am
   trying to place a line in the sidebar which is in an image. Here is the code:`
   <img src="/images/menudivider.jpg" width="165" height="3" border="0" class="menudivider"
   alt="" />` and the CSS for this bit of code is:
 *     ```
       .menudivider{
       position: relative;
       left: 1px;
       margin-top: 10px;
       margin-bottom: 10px;
       }
       ```
   
 * What happens is the image (line) appears and then disappears. I have checked 
   permissions on the image. I have also renamed the extension to gif. The apache
   log shows this:
    `"GET /images/menudivider.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 1774` and that is
   all.
 * The second problem is when i add this code:
    `<li>►<a href="http://teknerds.net/
   contact-us.php">Click HERE to schedule services</a></div></li>` all h ref’s turn
   red and i don’t want them red. I assume this bit of CSS is making them red: `
   a{ color: #CF0303; }`. Can anyone help me out with these 2 issues? Much appreciated.

 * My browser is not finding your image at /images/menudivider.jpg
 * Is the full url [http://teknerds.net/images/menudivider.jpg](http://teknerds.net/images/menudivider.jpg)
   or is that address supposed to be relative to your theme folder? That address
   would be looking for [http://teknerds.net/images/menudivider.jpg](http://teknerds.net/images/menudivider.jpg)
   so if that’s where its supposed to be, its not there. If that address is relative
   to the theme folder, the URL should be
    `<?php bloginfo('template_directory');?
   >/images/menudivider.jpg`

 * You are correct about that – change the color code
 * if you want only one link to be blue, for example, assign it a class
    `<a class
   ="blue" href="http://teknerds.net/contact-us.php"`
 * and add to your css
    `a.blue{ color: #0000a0; }`

 * ‘Yup. Change #CF0303 to #000 and the link will turn from red to black.
 * ..and this may just be my third 7and7 talking, but why not just trade the image(
   I looked at it [http://teknerds.net/wp-content/themes/hight-tech-10/images/menudivider.jpg](http://teknerds.net/wp-content/themes/hight-tech-10/images/menudivider.jpg))
   for a horizontal line? < hr /> then style the hr instead of the image?
 * Try removing all of this:
 *     ```
       <img height="3" border="0" width="165" alt="" class="menudivider" src="/images/menudivider.jpg"/>
       ```
   
 * and replace it with this:
 *     ```
       <hr />
       ```
   
 * (I _think_ that’s xhtml compliant) Then if need be, style the hr in the css.
 * Just a suggestion…

 * Duho!!! The `<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>` took care of the line 
   issue. Thanks for that. Now about the link turning red with the insertion of 
   code;
    i have removed that bit of code that i inserted….now check out the site.
   See under Customer Access, the “login” link? This is the color i want all links
   to be. And when you hover, they turn red, which is what i want. So the question
   is why is this code making the links turn red? `<li>?<a href="http://teknerds.
   net/contact-us.php">Click HERE to schedule services</a></div></li>`
