Hi all -

I just added an image in the section 'Visionary' in my page using code:

<p><a href="http://gblcg.org/register"><img src="http://gblcg.org/images/home/gblcg-worried-business-woman-home.png" width="250" height="135" alt="gblcg.org-entrepreneur-girl-image" title="gblcg.org-entrepreneur-girl-image" border="0" align="middle" /></a></p>

When checking the validity of my work with the product's inbuilt 'HTML Validator' I receive an error code pertaining to this image stating invalid HTML5 markups:

"Line 237, Column 256: The align attribute on the img element is obsolete. Use CSS instead. {.. title="gblcg.org-entrepreneur-girl-image" border="0" align="middle" /></a></p>}
and
Line 237, Column 256: The border attribute is obsolete. Consider specifying img { border: 0; } in CSS instead. {..… title="gblcg.org-entrepreneur-girl-image" border="0" align="middle" /></a></p>}

What to do to make this code compliant?

Thanks heaps in advance for your advice/suggestions/assistance -

How it's aligned and if it has borders or not should be specified in the CSS rather than in-line.
So create classes for your images...
Something like:

You can also add rounded corners, shadows.

Then in your HTML:
<img class="home" src="http://gblcg.org/images/home/gblcg-worried-business-woman-home.png" width="250" height="135" alt="gblcg.org-entrepreneur-girl-image" title="gblcg.org-entrepreneur-girl-image" >

Just a correction above that the border property should be set to "none" rather than "0" and not to forget the semi-colon after that line too

Fortunately, it wasn't an actual code snippet, just a suggestion to put that stuff in the CSS file.
I usually leave borders out completely, only specifying them as or if needed.

hehe yeah same here

Paintbrush, Jo Ann - you both totally, completely and utterly ROCK!

Thanks for that rapid response; corrections in my code now seem to work!

Loads of thanks to both of you...

Raymond

It's good to feel validated

"Validated" is not the same as "vindicated."
