#maincol{

My problem is:

```auto
<a href="www.somelink.com"><img src="daimg.jpg" alt="Booyakasha"></a>

```

so the underline appears as a border around the img except on Opera. I have tested IE and Firefox as well as Opera and that seems to be the only one to actually do what it is supposed to.

What have I done wrong?
