Getting Rid of Standard Colored Links Around Image Links

Question

I have included several images on my CS4 Dreamweaver site
that link to other pages, sites, etc. when clicked. An unexpected
and annoying standard blue (active), purple (visited), etc. link
border appears around the image when viewed in IE and AOL browsers.
These do not appear in Live View in CS4. How do I get rid of this
annoyance?

The W3C and the HTML/CSS experts here and elsewhere.

without.
Still simple.

The 'border' attribute is deprecated for a reason. It's not
only old
style, but also bloats the code, because you have to apply it
to each
and every image. A hundred images, a hundred 'border'
attributes. Quite
a waste of resources, which also makes the markup harder to
maintain.
With CSS you just need a single rule to give every image link
on every
page on the entire site the same default style, usually
borderless. If
you then want some links differently - nothing easier than
that. Either
apply a class or ID to them for individual styling or to
their parent
element to access an entire group of links at once, for
example all the
buttons in a nav bar:
a img {border: 0}
#nav a {border: 2px outset #F00}
That's it. Easy, flexible, efficient. Once you've learned
about the
power of CSS, you don't want to miss it anymore. Deprecated
and
inefficient markup was yesterday (or better last century).
