Yeah i understand that, i agree totally. One member said create a scrolling block with CSS for users that have JS disabled. I said that wouldn't be ideal. I only want to serve up large quanitites of images to users that have JS enabled. If i server up large quantities when JS isn't enabled then th

I'll chime in to mention that people who intentionally turn off CSS, or use their own specific styles to override defaults represent a TINY percentage of users. TINY. For me personally, testing without CSS is a mute point since I spend a fair amount of time creating a nice naked document to be
