I want to remove the background color that appears when hovering over an image that is linked. I have tried all sorts of things but can't find a solution.
Honestly, I think this is the only thing that will do it...just simply adding a class to the anchor since the image isn't actually inheriting the background you need to remove the specific instance's background...I know you didn't want to add a class...but, i don;t think there is any other way to target that specific anchor instance.
Here is a fiddle to demonstrate my point: http://jsfiddle.net/stevencrader/5UjvA/
