Border around the images in HTML

We can add a border to the image using the border setting shown in the example below:

Note:
Netscape browsers will only show the border if the image is a link.

<img src="http://www.yahoo.com/rainbow.gif" border = "5">

Adding a border to our image might help the visitor recognize that the image is a link. However, the net is filled with images that work as links and have no borders indicating it - so the average visitor is used to letting the mouse run over images to see if they are links.

Still - If we have an image that is often mistaken we might consider adding a border to it - although we should probably consider changing the image entirely - since if it does not indicate by itself that it is a link then it isn't serving it's purpose.
