chrome/safari display border around image

Chrome and Safari are displaying a border around the image, but I don't want one. There is no border in Mozilla. I've looked through the CSS and HTML, and I can't find anything that is fixing it.

Here is the code:

<tr>
  <td class="near">
    <a href="../index.html"class="near_place">
      <img class="related_photo" />
      <h4 class="nearby"> adfadfad </h4>
      <span class="related_info">asdfadfadfaf</span>
    </a>
    ...

CSS:

a.near_place {
    border: none;
    background: #fff;
    display: block;
}

a.near_place:hover{
    background-color: #F5F5F5;
}

h4.nearby {
    height: auto;
    width: inherit;
    margin-top: -2px;
    margin-bottom: 3px;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #000;
    display: inline;
}

img.related_photo {
    width: 80px;
    height: 60px;
    border: none;
    margin-right: 3px;
    float: left;
    overflow: hidden;
}

span.related_info {
    width: inherit;
    height: 48px;
    font-size: 11px;
    color: #666;
    display: block;
}


td.near {
    width: 25%;
    height: 70px;
    background: #FFF;

}

Sorry, I copied some old code before. Here is the code that is giving me trouble

Thanks in advance

Lazy image solution (img loading="lazy")

If you are using lazy image loading you may notice this thin thin border before the image has loaded more than if you didn't.

You're more likely to see this for a horizontal scrolling gallery than a normal vertical scrolling webpage.

Why?

Lazy loading unfortunately only works on the vertical axis. I'm assuming this is because there's a high likelihood that you're going to scroll down, but not left to right. The whole point of lazy loading is to reduce images 'below the fold' from consuming unnecessary bandwidth.

Soution 1:

Detect when the user has scrolled (eg. using intersection observer) and then set loading="eager" on each image you want to immediately load.

I haven't actually tested this, and it's possible some browser's won't immediately load images - but it should be fine.

Solution 2:

Detect when the image has finished loading loaded and then fade it in.

img.setAttribute('imageLoaded', 'false');
img.onload = () => 
{
   img.setAttribute('imageLoaded', 'true');
};

Then with css hide the image until it's loaded, after which it fades in nicely:

img
{
    opacity: 1;
    transition: opacity .5s;
}

img[imageLoaded='false'] 
{
    opacity: 0;  // hide image including gray outline
}

Also this behavior is subject to change, the browser may be clever enough to detect a horizontal scrolling element in future - but right now Chrome and Safari both seem to have a zero pixel window for looking for horizontal lazy images.

I just added src="trans.png", trans.png is just a 100x100 transparent background png from photoshop. Worked like a charm no borders

I know it is an old question. But another solution is to set the src to a 1x1 transparent pixel

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

This works for me.

I have fixed this issue with: 

<img src="img/1.jpg" style="height:150px; position: absolute; right: 15px;">

The right: 15px is where you want the image to be shown, but you can place it where you want.

To summarise the answers given already: your options to remove the grey border from an img:not([src]), but still display an image using background-image in Chrome/Safari are:

  • Use a different tag that doesn't have this behaviour. (Thanks @Druvision)
    Eg: div or span.
    Sad face: it's not quite as semantic.

  • Use padding to define the dimensions. (Thanks @Gonzalo)
    Eg padding: 16px 10px 1px; replaces width:20px; height:17px;
    Sad face: dimensions and intentions aren't as obvious in the CSS, especially if it's not an even square like @Gonalo's example.

This may happen when the image is planted dynamically by css (e.g. by http://webcodertools.com/imagetobase64converter) in order to avoid extra HTTP requests. In this case we don't want to have a default image because of performance issues. I've solved it by switching from an img tag to a div tag.

sarcastyx is right, but if you want a workarround you can set the width and height to 0 and a padding to make space for your image.

If you want a icon of 36x36, you can set width and height to 0 and pading:18px

Now I don't know if this is a bug with Chrome or not but the grey border appears when it can't find the image, the image url is broken or as in your case the src isn't there. If you give the image a proper URL and the browser finds it then the border goes away. If the image is to not have a src then you will need to remove the height and width.

Inside img.related_photo, you need to change border: solid thin #DFDFDF; to border: 0.

img.related_photo {
  width: 80px;
  height: 60px;
  **border: solid thin #DFDFDF;** //just remove this line
  margin-right: 3px;
  float: left;
  overflow: hidden;
}
