I am wondering if it is possible to do

display: none;

on the name HTML tag?

And if so how? Google is not being helpful for once.

What? What name tag?

Ok so I have this in the page:

<img src="images/nav_help.gif" alt="Help" name="help" border="0">

Is there any way with CSS to hide the image, and only this one specific image. I can't assign a custom class btw.

You could do this:

img[src="images/nav_help.gif"] { display: none; }
/* or */
img[alt="help"] { display: none; }
/* or */
img[name="help"] { display: none; }

Whichever you feel is best.

Or

img[src="images/nav_help.gif"][alt="help"][name="help"] {display: none;}

Note: I'm not sure if IE8 will be able to handle @cnwtx 's example.

That worked thanks. Had no idea you could actually reference the HTML like that.

jamy_za, I just tested it works in IE7 and IE8.

That even works in IE7?

Sure does: http://caniuse.com/#search=selectors

Weird, I'm very sure I've had IE7 problems when using this input[type="text"] - IE7 must have some kind of buggy implementation.

@joshuanhibbert small note, but caniuse says:

"Allows more accurate element selecting, using >, +, [attr], :first-child, etc."

and lists IE7 as supported, however IE7 has buggy :first-child support ( which I feel should be mentioned with a yellow block or something )

Edit: I see there is a partially supported colour, but they don't use that for IE7

@jamy_za I wish they were more specific, I was only meaning to show the attribute selector. And there are newer attribute selectors that won't work in IE7 too.
