Why not just set its visibility property to 'hidden'? The element isn't removed, but why do you want to do that anyway if you don't want the document to re-flow?

It is vastly more efficient to create the reflected images in an image processing program - and you'll get much better support from browsers that don't support opacity settings. -- Rob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
