what happens if they resize the browser window?  *grin*

if you want the image to slowly overlap each other more and more, that's
going to be pretty tricky.  what i'd suggest is making a single image that
can tile and apply that as a background image.

no, to sort boundaries between cells (cellspacing), you need to set the
border-collapse property to collapse:

border-collapse: collapse;

good luck,
