Yes, i think they can slow things down, but i have no say in whether or not they are used. The content to be posted on the site comes to me already coded in iframes, which i then have to modify. Sometimes it is a mix of jscript and iframes that we end up using. Interesting to see that the coding i am getting includes language to address Opera. Haven't seen anything that explicitly mentions FireFox, but everything seems to work well there so may be the Netscape logic extends to FireFox?
==========
Mozilla have a language called XUL
which I
rather liked - from what I remember it is a type of XML
HXML (which is being
created by Dreamweaver) is a type of XML
(it is strictly typed - lower case
etc)

that
would be quite specialised but may be of interest . .
It is interesting, and almost unbelievable that this can work as they say. Will have to take it for a test drive. I don't see how it is smart enough to separate out the background from the foreground. Even PhotoShop, once you have merged down the layers or flattened the image cannot separate out the background layer. But if this works as stated would be great.
Compression is pesky, especially when image quality suffers. Someone sent me an enormous tiff file last week, many MB in size, with dimensions of 1801x1803 pixels and i was supposed to massage it down to 89x89pixels, 72dpi, and under 38k in size AND maintain image quality!! It was a really good piece of cover art at full size and reduced it was a postage stamp and they said that their lettering looked "smooshed." I played around with it using 4 different programs and finally got something acceptable.

A specialised sort of effect
OCR first of all recognizes all
the dark shapes (text)
Compression is a compromise
Sometimes you can get away with a larger image
by loading it on faster
preceding page (giving it a 0 by 0 size)
It will then be in cache.
Another
way is to have a tag on a poor image and then click to enlarge
the href is
then linked directly to a higher quality image or to
a minimal HTML page
with some formatting and a larger image.
The best program for compressing
images is fireworks (which you have)
right click on an image in dreamweaver
then select optimise in fireworks
you will be provided with many options
