chrome/safari display border around image

Question

Chrome and Safari are displaying a border around the image, but I don't want one. There is no border in Mozilla. I've looked through the CSS and HTML, and I can't find anything that is fixing it.

Here is the code:

<tr>
  <td class="near">
    <a href="../index.html"class="near_place">
      <img class="related_photo" />
      <h4 class="nearby"> adfadfad </h4>
      <span class="related_info">asdfadfadfaf</span>
    </a>
    ...

CSS:

a.near_place {
    border: none;
    background: #fff;
    display: block;
}

a.near_place:hover{
    background-color: #F5F5F5;
}

h4.nearby {
    height: auto;
    width: inherit;
    margin-top: -2px;
    margin-bottom: 3px;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #000;
    display: inline;
}

img.related_photo {
    width: 80px;
    height: 60px;
    border: none;
    margin-right: 3px;
    float: left;
    overflow: hidden;
}

span.related_info {
    width: inherit;
    height: 48px;
    font-size: 11px;
    color: #666;
    display: block;
}


td.near {
    width: 25%;
    height: 70px;
    background: #FFF;

}

Sorry, I copied some old code before. Here is the code that is giving me trouble

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Now I don't know if this is a bug with Chrome or not but the grey border appears when it can't find the image, the image url is broken or as in your case the src isn't there. If you give the image a proper URL and the browser finds it then the border goes away. If the image is to not have a src then you will need to remove the height and width.

Answer 2

sarcastyx is right, but if you want a workarround you can set the width and height to 0 and a padding to make space for your image.

If you want a icon of 36x36, you can set width and height to 0 and pading:18px

Answer 3

I know it is an old question. But another solution is to set the src to a 1x1 transparent pixel

<img class="related_photo"
     src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" />

This works for me.

Answer 4

.related_photo {
   content: '';
}
