Annoying blue border link indicators
http://www.marcoquezada.com/people/people1/people1.html
Depending on your browser ( I know...) you might notice that the top row of thumbnails on the page has a blue link border. What code can I surround the thumbnail coding with to eliminate the blue borders? I can't figure out how I did it before.

border="0" in the <img> tag will do it.

If you used a style sheet then just adding one: img { border: none;} would do the trick for the site. Its worth looking into. This way you can get rid of all that table code and spacer gifs and stuff...

Oh, wow. I had no idea that Safari didn't show image link boarders.

If it doesn't then it is a bug in Safari imho.
I guess maybe not - maybe it technically is up to the browser to decide what to do, but unless the designer has specified no border, a browser should indicate somehow to the user that the image is in fact a link.
It especially should though because it is the new comer, and both IE and Mozilla (and opera too I believe) do show it. By not showing it, someone buys a mac and sets up his homepage and is clueless that it looks different to the rest of the world.
There almost always will be some differences between browsers, but that's a pretty big one.

No.

Not really, it's a question of default styling, and that is entirely up to the user, although the browser manufacturer does include the default styles with the application.

Well, according to the HTML spec Safari is in a gray area.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/obj … l#h-13.7.3
An image or object may be surrounded by a border (e.g., when a border is specified by the user or when the image is the content of an A element).
I would have preferred if they'd just stuck with the commonly accepted behavior on this one. That goes a long way towards NOT having to keep track of browser differences.

I hate 'em too. Especially when they alter the placement of the image (like they do in Firefox, shifting them a little).
