Re: &nbsp for td

Shelley,

my vote is for the .gif because of the sizing flexibility it offers (a 2X5
pixel transparent gif is ~tiny~ in terms of file size, but can be stretched
dimensionally, by the definition in the img tag, to meet any [practical]
spacing need without making the file download any larger).

As far as "issues", I interpret that to mean
stability/reliability/predictability issues.

As most folks know, IE and NS render (interpret?) spaces differently. It is
my *opinion* that using the .gif would avoid the potential layout problems
associated with this anomaly.


HTH,
Fuzzy
