Re: jpg - unwanted border

you wouldn't by any chance have stock in their publishing company?  =) 

I wasn't saying that the best place to learn about these things is here --
what i /was/ making a point on is that, typo or not, it's a good thing if
it's corrected, so that people don't learn the /wrong/ things here.

keep in mind that this is also a graphics forum.  those that are fluent in
graphics and related topics might not come across or even need to be
exposed to conventions dealing with protocols, or even the basics of HTML.

a note on books...
I've never read a book on HTML in my life, but i've been in the industry
for several years, and find that online resources are proabably the best
place to learn, because specific biases and mistakes are constantly being
found.  If someone puts something in a book saying that <font face="arial">
will display your page in arial (and i'm sure it's out there), then the
reader of that book gets one perspective, and only one.  If it's posted
here, i'm sure that many people will comment on and qualify the implications.

arguably, the net is full of ameteurs that will say black is white, but at
least when they do, there are enough others that will pipe up and give you
some salient advice and resources.
