I have a Webhelp project using a custom CSS file. In the CSS, I've specified the img tag to have certain settings (1px,solid,gray). However, when I look in the Design view at a topic that has an image included, there is no border. When I check the HTML view, it shows this inline style: Border="0". If I delete that deprecated style setting, then check the Design view again, the border styles set in the CSS file apply. But as soon as I click back to the HTML view, that same inline style has been inserted again.
Has anyone seen this behavior and found a fix?
I've checked for other img or border settings, but can't find anything. Please tell me that I don't have to set the inline styles that I want to use for every single image.
Thanks!

No fix, but there is a workaround: In your CSS, add !important to the
style definition.
img
This overrides the inline styling. But RoboHelp will still add it for
images you add. Alternatively, you may automate removing that inline
styling with a script. But you need to know that removing the inline
styling is what you really want.
Kind regards,

William,
Thanks for the quick response and the insight. I'll try the !important
route.
It sounds like this is a known-issue. For my own edification, do we know
generally why RH is doing this?

Why it was originally implemented is a bit of a guess, but my 50 cents:
When you add an image and later place a hyperlink on the image, the
browser will by default place a fat, blue line around the image. My
guess is that this behaviour was added to avoid browsers from adding a
line around the image and thus having a better WYSIWYG effect. And by
adding the border inline, this fix does not depend on any CSS setting a
user might or might not have.
But it is speculation. Perhaps Rick, Peter or John can remember this far
back
Kind regards,
Willam
