Creating Images 3

My image now has a blue or purple border around

it. How can I get rid of that?

The border is the browser’s way of indicating that

the image is a link, in the same way that turning

text blue and adding the underline designates text

which is covered in Chapter 4.

How will my users know that they can click the

image?

navigational element via the design of the image.

Placing descriptive text on it, or making it a

recognizable icon such as a shopping cart, should

provide the user with the necessary clue that the

image is a hyperlink.

● When viewed in a browser, the

image is now a link. You can

click the image to navigate to

the specified page.
