I assume the image is surrounded by an a tag.. If that's the case, what the user is rolling over is not the img, but the a.. so style your a:hover accordingly (ie. with a border) and you should be fine. add a class to the a to avoid borders appearing on all links, of course. B theGrafixGuy

Hi Chris, I believe you may need to address all states of the a selector: link, visited and active as well as hover (which you do separately): #navigation a.current:link, #navigation a.current:visited, #navigation a.current:active, { background-color: #FFF; border-bottom: 1px solid #FFF;
