Hi Folks,

Just forwarding this to thesite again.  I think it got lost in among all the
emails and holidays, etc.

Did they get done?  i.e. the new images created and the HTML corrected?

Filip's new images look great to me.  Anyone else have comments?

Thanks,

Michele

| Ah, that's right.. absmiddle never was part of the HTML spec. Bummer.

| Nope, not the same. Actually, absmiddle was a rather ugly fix which would
| break as soon as the text size changes. Using "middle" and padding the
| bottom gifs with five or so pixels is probably the right way to go.
|
| Like this:

|
| This should look alright even if the text size changes. "Middle" aligns
the
| vertical center of the image to the baseline of the text, which is really
| what absmiddle did (but only for this specific text size). Same thing, but
| done the Right Way. Yay!
|
| If it seems okay, I'll fix the gifs.
