[solved] Weird blue Box

Hi there

Does anyone know why i would have a blue box around one of my images which is inside a table? I am using dreamweaver and can't figure it out. It (the blue box) doesn't show when previewing in safari, but it does on firefox...

I have checked the code, but really can't see anything and the validate code option in dreamweaver also does reveal anything.

Thanks!

Re: Weird blue Box

Is the image a link by chance? Most browsers wrap images in blue borders if they are wrapped within an anchor <a> tag.

To remove this, you can use a spot of CSS.

Code: Select all
a img {
border: none;
}

I think you are right here, it is a link and is wrapped within an <a> tag. Ok, so where do i put that css? i am using an external stylesheet, does it go there? And is it a img or a.img?

Thanks so much!
