I like that, thanks. And the x/y thing isn't confusing to me, but I've
actually gotten phone calls about it from people worried that someone is
hacking their computer as a result of them. I wish there was a way to
turn them off. I've resorted to wrapping the image in an anchor tag,
too, but then I can't use post-headers which seems to be the way to go.
I've never had that problem at other jobs or projects, though, just this
one. Oh well.
Thanks for the help, all! I'll take a look at those links you sent me,
too, tobie!
