Getting rid of the pesky XP image toolbar

You know, the one that appears in the top left corner of _some_ images

For the life of me, I can't work out what makes this appear - other than guessing it is based on image size. If an image is larger than a certain amount it sticks the thing in the top left corner and fairly ruins any aesthetically carved layout.

But I have seen sites where it doesn't appear, so I am sure there must be some IE specific code I can use to ensure it doesn't appear.

Any clues?

Hi Straynjer,
This in your <head> section should do the trick:
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />

Hope that helps
