[thelist] Turning off hover for image links?

[Stephen Caudill]

I wasn't happy with any of the solutions proffered, so I did some investigating myself and I thought I'd offer the results to the list:

In a nutshell, you *can* get rid of the background-color on a linked image by setting the background-color of the hovered image to that of it's containers background color (specific styles on the page above).  The caveat being that you can not use margin, padding or change it's display to block.
