Hiding image link borders NN4

**NZ Joe** · Jul 27, 2003 20:33

Hi,

I am trying to build a HTML strict page that requires images to be links. The problem I get is that NN4 gives them all borders. How can I get rid of the borders?

Thanks

Joe

Add border=0 as an attribute to the image tag?

I'm assuming you are asking because stylesheets do not work (although I don't know what you've tried). If this doesn't cut it, then I don't know.

I have tried that, but the w3 validator says that it is not valid (it is for transitional, not strict). I have also tried using: img {border:none;} in my css. I have also tried to do it with a css class without success. I think that this may just be something that I have to live with. Although I hope that someone can suggest a fix.

I think you may have to live with it if it's not in the W3 specifications, unless you want to write non-standard code.

What are you validating against? XHTML1? or HTML4?

I personally wouldn't worry about it, something ridiculously low like less than 0.5% of internet users are still using NN4.

Hi, It's HTML4 for a government site and therefore has to be valid. I was hoping to use strict, but I may have to go back to transitional, although the important thing is the content and not the look.

Hey NZ Joe

I don't know if this will work for you, but if you have a solid bg color around the images, you could hide the border by setting it to that same color. Something like:

.no-border {color:#ffffff;}

and then

<a class="no-border" ...
