When an anchor surrounds a div tag, white borders will appear

Lately, I've encountered an unusual issue.

My buttons are created using div tags with rounded edges and border colors defined in the CSS. To link them to specific destinations, I encapsulated them within <a> tags. The problem arises when the link points to a previously visited page, causing the div's border to turn white. Normally, I would use Chrome's element inspector to identify the CSS rule responsible for this behavior. However, as soon as I navigate to the element, the border reverts back to its intended color.

This issue seems to only occur in Google Chrome and not in Internet Explorer or Firefox.

Additionally, my website is built on Joomla 1.5 with Artisteer template customization. While I have made significant modifications to the template design.

As a temporary fix, I resorted to using onclick JavaScript events to function as button links, although I fear this might impact search engine indexing negatively.

Any insights or suggestions on what could be causing this unexpected behavior?

Answer №1

When using the Chrome developer tool, you can easily view elements by hovering over them. It's important to remember to assign styles for a:active, a:visited, etc. If you need further assistance, feel free to share your code on jsfiddle.
