fair enough.

i don't have any of those and i've already tried optimizing the images
as best i can. even going so far as to one by remove colors (from gif's)
till it couldn't get any smaller without replacing good colors with bad.
same thing goes for jpeg's.

although i do try to use CSS as much as i can (i.e. not for placement of
items, but rather how they look) there are some things that i don't know
how to do with css that can easily be done with html. specifically
cellspacing="0" and cellpadding="0". what is the css equivalent if any?


thanks,
chris.
