Tamara:

Are you referring to using the style attribute in your img tag? Take a
look at this example:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
  "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Just a test!</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Just a test!</h1>
    <p><img src="./test.gif" width="100" height="100" alt="Just a
test!" style="border: 0px;" /></p>
  </body>
</html>

This validates just fine at the strict level. The W3C validator can be
diffcult to interpret sometimes (at least for me), post the exact error
message(s) and I'm sure someone here can figure it out.
