Applying a CSS Class to an ASP:Image Tag

I'm having some trouble trying to figure this out.

something in my css like:

.aspImageClass { border:3px solid #666666; }

and in my aspx file:
<asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" CssClass="aspImageClass" />

Won't work.

It seems that <asp:Image> tags aren't affected by the css "img {}" instructions either.

Anyone know how to write a CSS class for an ASP:Image tag?

Thanks!

The CSS functions on HTML tags, not ASP tags....by the time your browser sees the HTML to which to APPLY the CSS, the ASP tags are long gone.

Try doing a "View Source" in your browser to see what tags you should REALLY be affecting.

Ahh, I see. The source does render an HTML img tag, but for some reason the server is adding:
style="border-width:0px;"

Even when I override the img tag in the css file.

Hmm...you know what, someone else is having the same problem: http://www.webmasterworld.com/microsoft_asp_net/3363448.htm

I have my asp:image in a content placeholder too. Maybe this isn't a 50 point question. But if I have to just change the tag to a regular image tag then perhaps I should delete this?

Once I did that, the other instructions in the css class post will work.

The CSS was working earlier too but the tag style would override the style given in class. So the width was being overridden.
