Unless I'm missing the point entirely, what's wrong with:
a img {border:none;}

Subject: [WSG] IE linked image border grief

Hi all,

I have the following rules (amongst many):

a                       { text-decoration: none; }
a:link          { border-bottom: 1px dotted black; }
a:visited       { ... }
a:hover         { ... }

No surprises so far -- it's a classic dotted border on links.  The 
problem I have is that IE displays the dotted bottom border on images 
that contain no text, I guess that's a reasonable thing, and maybe not 
a bug, but it's a pain in the ***.

If we had *ascendant* selectors, my problem would be solved, but we 
don't:

img<a           { border:0; }

Bowman <stopdesign.com> solves the problem with a 'noline' class on his 
linked image tags, but in this case, I can't edit the source of the 
image tag, as it's auto-generated by the CMS.  Bugger.

Searching Google for this is pretty much hopeless (the keywords are too 
generic), so here I am, begging the WSG for some help :)
