Hey,
I should have also added that this happens with the cache turned on and
you ask the browser to get a fresh copy instead of from the local cache.
I guess my point is, when it downloads the page, does Mozilla
download every instance of a piece of art even if it's name is identical
to a file that was just downloaded?
Thanks again,
Mike
