assign class to <txp:article_image /> ?

I have a simple form that displays the article image and links to the next and previous articles underneath it.
<code>
<txp:article_image />
<div id=“arrows”>
<txp:link_to_prev><< previous</txp:link_to_prev>
<txp:link_to_next>next >></txp:link_to_next></div>
</code>
I want to assign a class to the article_image, but when I try something like <code><txp:article_image class=“border” />, nothing happens. The div id works fine for the links underneath though. I am still pretty new to TXP, and I am uncertain as to whether classes can be assigned to txp:article_image if its output from a form…. but I would assume it would work.

weird – apparently I can wrap a div around it, and target the “img” tag – but I cannot get a border around it through external css

I don’t think article_image can take a class attribute. You best bet would be to use a wrapper dive around the tag and target the image in that.

<code>
<div class=“article_image”><txp:article_image></div>
</code>

<pre>
<code>
div.article_image img { border:1px solid#ccc;
}
</code></pre>

I’ve just run into the same problem. It seems silly that this tag should take a style attribute, but not class. I thought we were all supposed to be avoiding inline styles these days, right?
