I think he means just plain HTML, which would be...

<a href="location of the link"><img src="location of the image" /></a>

Like Mr_L says ^^

I'd also add the alt="Alternate text" for validation

and border="0" so that there's no annoying border if you hover over it (in my opinion)

He could also add the "title" attribute. I'd put the border style in the CSS but that all depends on what is being used.

XHTML uses /> to close image tags, not plain HTML.

If you are using normal HTML e.g. 4.01, then it is closed without the space and /.

So it would be

..of the image"></a>

Is this the day of the pedants?

He should be using XHTML.

iCraig · 20 Jan 2006 at 15:30

Was only teasing mate.

Perhaps he should, but he said HTML, so I guess he means 4.01.

Mr_L · 20 Jan 2006 at 15:44

HTML is ghey.

Dj_Jestar · 20 Jan 2006 at 15:48

My word.. arguing over which standard of HTML he means.. are you bored?

iCraig · 20 Jan 2006 at 15:50

We're not argueing.

Commenting on this? You must be bored too

Trust me when you're editing video and you keep going over the same boring bits, you get bored.

ok Ok, I use the word HTML 'loosly', I mean XHTML tbh!

Right, heres another one. I know that border="0" removes a hover, but how can i stop the link from changing colour. When I click it, and then return to the image it has a purple border around it!!

iCraig · 20 Jan 2006 at 16:28

I know that border="0" removes a hover

No it doesn't, it stops there being a border around the image if it is hyperlinked. As the default border is 0 until you hyperlink the image.

You can have a border in HTML around any image without linking the image to anything.

Place border="0" in your <IMG> tag and you will not have a border at any time on that image, hyperlinked or not.
E.g:

Code:

<img border="0" src="source.jpg" alt="Banana dog" />

Oracle · 20 Jan 2006 at 16:35

Hmm......Banana Dog??? :confused:

Thanks tho, thats done it

Yup, sure is

....why should he be using XHTML?

Mr_L · 20 Jan 2006 at 17:41

You know why.

Beansprout · 20 Jan 2006 at 17:45

But humans never know what they want, and always want the wrong things!

Actually, I code in XHTML too. Hey, it's the fashion.

toastyman · 20 Jan 2006 at 17:52

I'm surprised its not cropped up yet....
The HTML attribute (border) is deprecated now. You should use CSS instead. Eg. style="border:1px solid #FFF"

Mr_L · 20 Jan 2006 at 18:09

I did mention it subtley but like I said before it depends on the version of HTML you use. You can use the "border" attribute in a XHTML Transitional DT but you can't use it in a Strict DT.
