AOL USERS: The AOL web browser is a
modified
version of MSIE. One of the modifications is that by default it
"compresses"
graphics to an .ART format. The problem is that when you save images
off
web pages in the AOL browser, they stay in the .ART format - even if
they
are named with .gif or .jpg extensions. This means that only the MSIE
Web
Browsers can view images on your page - anyone using any other browser
cannot see them!
Please read this page for more detailed
information on how to solve this problem and others.
How to Use Bordered
Backgrounds
Create a
left-aligned or default table with two cells side by side.
The first cell will contain a transparent "spacer" image. Adjust the
width
of the spacer gif to slightly more than the width of the border. Use
the
following html within the body of your page, immediately after the
opening
BODY statement:
<TABLE><TR><TD
ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP">
<IMG
SRC="spacer.gif" WIDTH=110 HEIGHT=10></TD>
<TD
ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP">
Now place the
content of your html document here, followed by the following
fragment before your closing BODY statement:
</TD></TR></TABLE>
Here is the
"spacer.gif":

How to Eliminate the Border
around Linked Images
To remove the border
around images, include border=0
in your img src statement. (Remember, by the way, that specifying the
height
and width of an image will make the page load faster!)
