Strange border on IMG tag

Question

HTML:

CSS:

Answer 1

It's the default "special" border that appears when you use an img element with an a src attribute set to something that doesn't exist (or no src at all).

A common workaround is to set the src to a blank.gif file:

<img class="logo" src="blank.gif" />

I have to point out that it (in this case) makes no sense to use an <img> with background-image. Just set the src attribute and forget about background-image.

Answer 2

Combining @thirtydot's answer to this question with @Layke's answer for Smallest data URI image possible for a transparent image, here is an all-in-one solution:

<img class="logo"
  src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"/>

Answer 3

This works for me

img {
  text-indent: -999px;
}

Answer 4

You can Simply Use div instead of img for background image , if you are not going to use src attribute anywhere.

<div class="logo"> </div>

otherwise src is required.

Answer 5

I had the same issue, but now the border does not appear.

Solution:

Add following in the img tag in HTML

• src=""
• border="0"
