Border Attribute Deprecated?

fleemo17

I ran a web page through a WAI validator, and it came back saying
"Failure - Document uses one or more deprecated elements or attributes.
The document contains the element: IMG with the deprecated attribute:
border."

That seems odd to me. Is there a CSS equivalent I should be using
instead?

Why? Borders are a presentational matter, therefore they belong in CSS,
not HTML.
Is there a CSS equivalent I should be using
instead?

Which page, which "validator"?

Most likely it should be saying: Warning, removing border from linked
images makes is harder to know it is link and hides information about it
being visited before.
That seems odd to me.
I think it is quite clear.

Yes.
I should be using instead?

No?
