I can't do what?

I know it doesn't validate.  What I asked was how to prevent NS4.0 from
placing the border around the submit image *and* make it validate.  I do
not know of a way to accomplish that.  So, if someone has a constructive
suggestion, please tell.

What, besides validation, doesn't work with border="0"?

I looked at the Books links, of course, but those are not submit buttons.
I tried <span> and <td> styles.  I could change the border in other
clients, but not NS4.0.  I tried using a submit button, I tried moving the
button on top, in the middle, and on the bottom.  I asked for other design
examples.  No acceptable side-bar search box as been found.  We tried it at
the top of the page, and it was rejected there, too.  So either someone
needs to find a solution or we compromise.  What other option is there?

Validation is a tool I use when writing HTML.  If the real world uses NS4.0
still and we care about those users, and border=0 doesn't break anything
else, I don't really care if a validator says it's not perfect, as long as
I understand why it's saying that.  What I do care about the people viewing
it.  When a new browser comes out that breaks because of border=0 it's
likely that NS4.0 will be long gone.
