  Re: Haylp! Why does NN take ages to load these tables?
 
(...) Well... a couple things, I think... 1st, I'm not sure if having <TABLE><TD>blah</TD></TABLE> is "legal"... According to O'Reilly's _HTML_The_Definitive_Guide_ (3rd ed, copyright 1998): "The only content allowed within the <table> is one or (...) (25 years ago, 21-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)

(...) the (...) routine... (...) I'll have to disagree here. Please, always specify the dimensions of the images in the <IMG> tag. That way, the browser knows how much space to set aside for the image before the image is entirely loaded. Otherwise, (...) (25 years ago, 21-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Actually, it looks like you could do the exact same thing with just 1 table, with about 7 columns and about 12 rows, and using: <TD HEIGHT=____ WIDTH=_____ COLSPAN=___ ROWSPAN=_____><IMG SRC=_____></TD> for each TD tag... of course if you're (...)

  Re: Haylp! Why does NN take ages to load these tables?
 
(...) Sorry Dave, but I strongly agree with Bram on this. ALWAYS give height and width tags on your images and further, make sure that they're actually correct. The browser won't resize the image if what it got when it fetched the image matches the (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)
