It's not just images. It's all links. Looks like somebody decided to put a border-bottom on links. It's a not-uncommon trick people use to create an underline that doesn't cut off the descenders. Browsers know how to not underline image links (though they do love those image borders). But they're not going to do anything special when you put a border on the a element. So you have to go to extra trouble to remove the border in cases where you don't want it. Personally, I think it's just visual noise, and we should drop it. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-web-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-web-list
