Question

I have a problem with the img border. I am using the following code for all my images, but the border is not going away. Can someone tell me the correct way to remove the img border?

   <div class="mosaic-overlay">
   <img class="cover1"></div>

   .cover1  {width:300px;height:185px;
            float:left;background: url('/img/cover.jpg') 0px 0px; 
            border:0;}

Many thanks.

It’s the default “special” border that appears in some browsers when an img element has no src attribute, or a src attribute pointing to an image that does not exist.

For example, look at this in IE9: http://jsfiddle.net/SdbNE/

A common workaround is to set the src to a blank.gif file:

<img class="cover1" src="blank.gif" />

Or, just use a div instead?

<div class="cover1"></div>
