Re: Style Sheet Equiv Question

> ...(An image can't have padding.)...

Who says? I'm working on a site right now where I have some images =
floated left or right AND have padding around them (so the text doesn't =
bunch up on them), all set with INLINE styles (in the IMG tag), and the =
Homesite and W3C XHTML validators have absolutely no problem with this. =
An image (and any other element) CAN have padding. It's possible and =
extremely useful. Here's a sample IMG tag that validates:

<.img src=3D"(image)" alt=3D"Image 1" style=3D"width: 75px; height: =
100px; padding: 0px 5px 5px 5px; float: right;" />

Since it validates, then I would say that images CAN have padding. ;-)

Hope this clears up a misconception.
