Getting rid of "Save - Print - Send - Open Pictures" icon bar in IE

appears over image when I mouse over

[Robert Charlton]

I've got a gif that's a clickable link, and it's driving me nuts that IE keeps putting up the "Save - Print - Send - Open Picture Folder" icon bar over the image when you hover. It distracts a lot from what I'd like people to see.

I'm not sure what triggers this. I'm guessing it's image size. Ours is a 208 x286, 21k gif. I'm seeing a 342x171 kb gif that doesn't call up the icon bar.

If it is image size, is there any way of disabling this "feature" short of slicing the image?

Disables Image Toolbar for all pics on a page:
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no">

Disables Image Toolbar on a pic by pic basis:
<img src="/file.jpg" galleryimg="no" alt="image">

Key_Master - Boy, that looks a lot better! Thank you for your 1000th post. :)

PS: Do you know what triggers the Image Toolbar? It doesn't seem to happen with all images.

Microsoft Support's viewpoint is way different from ours, or at least from mine...

SYMPTOMS
When you position the mouse pointer over an image or picture in Microsoft Internet Explorer, the image toolbar may not appear as expected.

Just looking at other images unenhanced by this feature, I see that both dimensions need to be over 200. A 700x60 image, which has a larger area than 200x200, won't do it.
