This is a little page showing how to get around certain shortcomings of HTML, and to help with some common questions people have when trying to get HTML to do what they want.

First is a problem that only happens on newer browsers, and only when you put in a recent DTD. This causes them to put a small space (few pixels) below the image. This is extremely aggrivating if you're trying to get the images to fit together in a table or something. I wasted several hours trying to figure how to get rid of the space, and finally found something with google: http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2002/img-table/ the vertical-align: trick doesn't seem to work in old versions Safari though.
