css - Removing the image border in Chrome/IE9

Question

I am trying to get rid of the thin border that appears for every image in Chrome & IE9. I have this CSS:

outline: none;
border: none;

Using jQuery, I also added a border=0 attribute on every image tag. But the border as shown in the image still appears. Any solution?

body {
    font: 10px "segoe ui",Verdana,Arial,sans-serif, "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", Lucida, sans-serif;
}
img, a img {
    outline: none;
    border: none;
}
.icon {
    width: 16px;
    height: 16px;
    text-indent: -99999px;
    overflow: hidden;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: -48px -144px;
    background-image: url(theme/images/ui-icons_0078ae_256x240.png);
    margin-right: 2px;
    display: inline-block;
    position: relative;
    top: 3px;
}

<h1>Dashboard <img class="icon" border="0"></h1>

It's a Chrome bug, ignoring the "border:none;" style.

Let's say you have an image "download-button-102x86.png" which is 102x86 pixels in size. In most browsers, you would reserve that size for its width and height, but Chrome just paints a border there, no matter what you do.

So you trick Chrome into thinking that there is nothing there - size of 0px by 0px, but with exactly the right amount of "padding" to allow for the button. Here is a CSS id block that I am using to accomplish this...

#dlbutn {
    display:block;
    width:0px;
    height:0px;
    outline:none;
    padding:43px 51px 43px 51px;
    margin:0 auto 5px auto;
    background-image:url(/images/download-button-102x86.png);
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
}

Voila! Works everywhere and gets rid of the outline/border in Chrome.
