Example
The border
attribute set to "5":
<img src="giant-prawn.jpg" alt="The Giant Prawn at Ballina" border="5" />
Description
By default, an image will have
no border around it (unless it is contained inside an a element and CSS has
not been used to remove the border). The
border attribute rectifies this, and allows you to
set a border specified in pixels. Depending on the browser, the border
will either be black or will match the color of the document’s text.
Value
A number representing the width of the border in pixels.

Although support for this attribute is good, it is now deprecated and is highly presentational in its nature. The originally desired visual effects can all be achieved with CSS and, as such, this attribute should not be used - it is presented here for information only.
