Um.. Sorry I see what you are trying to do now.. I read that a bit too fast the first time ...

Good question!

how about

a img {

though i'd rather see

#nav a img {
...
}

I trying do solve a selector (see http://css.maxdesign.com.au/selectutorial/selectors_type.htm) that I'm not sure can even be solved (without changes to my HTML)

I am using a bottom border on links for easier reading (compared with underlines), but only want the border to appear on text links - not images. Is there a why to set the style on a parent ('a') when you know what the child is ('img')?

HTML:

<img src="icon.png" title="Image alone" style="width:20px;height:20px" />

<a href="nowhere.html" title="Link alone">Lone link</a>

<a href="somewhere.html" title="Link image"><img src="icon.png" title="Image alone" style="width:20px;height:20px" /></a>

CSS:

a {
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: thin solid black; /* easier to read as does not cut through g's, y's, etc */
}
img {
margin: 0;
border: thin solid black;
}


PS. Mac OSX users coding in Dreamweaver might want to try http://www.skti.org/. I started using t last week and have not looked back.
