   I can't help with the caching issues, I'm afraid, but I'm fascinated by 
the weather images - it's a great idea to have the explanation in the 
colophon. I do want to ask though - what advantage is there in having in 
the background images listed in a style sheet rather than some kind of 
dynamic include file? Or perhaps a better question would be: Why did you do 
it that way?

   Some of the sites I work on have dynamic images, and like most folks, I 
usually have an eye out for ways to improve their workings.

   Drew.
