CSS, borderless image links and NS4

Is it possible?

[ergophobe]

Subject says it (I'm testing in Netscape 4.51). Is it possible to eliminate the border around an image link using CSS only?

<a href="somelink.html"><img src="someimage.gif"></a>

img {border: none;}

and a million other permutations that I've tried, always leave the border around the image and it's always blue (so I can't hide it by coloring it like the background).

Any pure CSS solutions.

Thanks

FWIT: I've never managed it either :(

On another thread [webmasterworld.com] bobriggs came up with the answer. Netscape 4 gets the anchor tangled in with the image. So the solution is to add in a style for a:link --

a:link {
border:none;
}

That does the trick for linked images in NN4.

[ergophobe]

a:link {
border:none;
}

Tried that and tried it with properties
border
border-width
border-color (to match background)
border-style

And I applied them to the tags

a
a:link
img

And I also checked to see whether I could set it with Javascript Styles using

tags.a.border = 'none'
tags.img.border = 'none'
tags.*.borderWidth = '0px'
tags.*.borderStyle = 'none'

Nothing works in NS4.5. I know support is a bit better in NS4.7, so it may work there. I sort of use 4.5 as the acid test for backward compatibility, but I think this is just beyond what it can handle without <img src="file.gif" border="0">

Cheers,
