linked Images ,please help
Hanan Cohen
When I link an image and view the HTML with Netscape 2.0 I see a small
line at the bottom right corner of the image ?
How can I remove it ?
Thanks.
Love and peace for all.

It could be that you have either a space or a carriage return within
or just outside of your <img> tag; I have heard that this causes a
small line to be rendered after the image.
good luck and happy surfin'

This often occurs if your </a> tag is on a different line than <img
src=..> in the HTML source.
I *know* line breaks are supposed to be ignored so I guess this is a bug
in Netscape.

Yes. Review the concept of "white space" in the HTML specs.

If you *know* it then you can surely quote the place in the spec
where it's laid down? I don't think you can.
Line breaks on input are treated as "white space", and condensed
to a single white space. If that's nonfunctional, it would disappear.
If it isn't, then it stays. I'm reckon that in this case, it stays.
You surely don't intend that this input:
now
here
would result in this display:
nowhere
? Of course not. Now, recall that <IMG> is a character level
markup. So the above example is structurally equivalent to
<IMG...>
here
Ergo, the white space stays. Since the white space is in the scope of an
anchor, it gets underscored by this particular browser. Recall, each
browser displays anchors to the user according to its design. Might
use an underscore, a coloured frame, a pseudo button or whatever.
I'm open to correction by anyone who can quote the spec. Those
who just say "I *know*" get the booby prize. ;-)
I went to Downing myself, but that doesn't change the facts. ;-))

I believe this is often called a "nick" and is underlined "whitespace"
The whitespace can be a space or, more usually, a newline. Make sure
that </A> immediately follows the <IMG SRC=...> tag

If a browser has underline turned on something like this would produce
that: <a href="link..."><img src="image..."> </a>
^
space
The space is treated a text that will be underlined. Perhaps that's your
problem.
