HTML: Usage of "border" in img statements

[+pheck]

Hello,

 

in one of my TB descriptions, I'm displaying the flags of the countries, the TB has visited. My flag-files are not including a border, so I want to add one as white areas will not be displayed well without a border. But it seems to me, that this is not rendered well in GC website, the borders are not displayed at all.

 

A test with the same code on my webserver shows the border, therefore I think that the code is OK.

 

Code example: <img src ="http://www.peter-heck.de/fileadmin/images/flaggen/flag_DE.gif" border = "1" alt = "Deutschland">

 

Search the forum, but didn't found an answer, so can anyone help me on this topic?

 

Greetings from Germany!

I think I might know it.

The border attribute is mostly only useful for removing the border that is created if the image is inside an "a" (link) tag.

Using CSS works, add an attribute such as:

style="border:1px solid black"

And by a very current posting to a very apt list, there are the allowable HTML attributes http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...t&p=3570735

I have successfully used the vpsace= and hspace= (vertical space & horizontal space) attributes successfully. The specify the amount of white space around an image.
