Nope. Here's the code snipped out. One right after the other (image in 
between):

<TD bgcolor="#6666CC" background="/images/sign_bkgd.gif" valign="top">
<IMG src="/images/spacer.gif" width="10" height="10"><BR>
<IMG src="/images/sign_user.gif" width="46" height="21" align="baseline">
<INPUT type="text" name="Username" size="8" maxlength="20" tabindex="1"><BR>
<IMG src="/images/sign_pass.gif" width="46" height="21" align="baseline">
<INPUT type="password" name="Password" size="8" maxlength="20" 
tabindex="2"></TD>
