Hi Glenn,
<<Glenn McCorkle:It's a 5000x1x256 GIF file.
That's right, that STUPID-ASS web page page designer used a
5000 pixel wide by 1 pixel high 256 color GIF for the backgound.>>
Hmmm, Using a very wide and non-tall background graphic
is a pretty common web design technique (prevents horizontal tiling)
but 5000 wide? Must be an interesting monitor that guy has <g>.
There was some testing done awhile back that found that a 1 pixel high
background would drag browser rendering down and somewhere
around 25 high worked better. In this one (a 3 color graphic [8 bit] )
that's only 940 bytes isn't too bad of a size) and it should still work.
a browser page width shouldn't be affected by the background width.
Did you have the problem if you put it into a plain HTML page?
