Firefox underlining images
Wednesday, February 21st, 2007Someone help me out before I go crazy.
Why is firefox underlining the image in this example?
Here is a screenshot (in case you’re not using firefox) - the above link looks like this in firefox:
The code on that page is simply:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
a img {
text-decoration: none;
border: none;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#"><img src="gecko.gif" alt="gecko" /> Test</a><br />
<a href="#"><img src="gecko.gif" alt="gecko" /></a> <a href="#">Test</a>
</body>
</html>
I thought it might be a doctype issue - but changing it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
Added after: Just to make this even more mysterious… This DOES NOT create that line:
<a href="#"><img src="gecko.gif" alt="gecko" /> </a>
It doesn’t show up until we add a *character* within the <a> tag that the underline pops up…(I’ve updated the example to show this…)
Updated 3/30/07 Shaun wins the prize for finding the solution!:a img {
display:block;
border: none;
float: left;
}
The example has been updated…
