The border attribute is deprecated, and it would not validate with a 
Strict DOCTYPE.  It is also completely unnecessary because CSS can quite 
easily achieve the same result

:link img { border: 0; }

That is the correct behaviour with that style rule applied.  However, 
this is slightly more difficult to handle, as you need to select <a> 
elements that contain <img> which cannot be done directly with CSS.  You 
could add a class to the link like this:

<a href="..." class="image"><img ... ></a>

then style it using:

.image:link:hover { background-color: transparent; }
