D'oh! Thanks for that, *tweak*, I took it out and it still displays, but with
the same delay..

Yup, removed the extra table and it still works at the same speed. I think that
the problem really is, (if you didn't guess) that it is machine-generated, from
an image splicing util that I'm writing in tcl/tk partly as an exercise in
learning HTML :) This probably accounds for most, if not all of the evilness of
the resulting HTML code.
From what you said, I think I'll get my finger out and implement my tables
better - atm the routine just splits each table into two new tables at rollover
image boundaries, whereas if it takes account of all image boundaries it could
generate tables with >2 columns and >2 rows.. meaning that for the image, the
table recursion depth would be about 3 or 4, instead of about.. 9 or 10!
Perhaps learning some HTML before writing utils to blat it out would help too?

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 (...)
