It's not only good practice, it's standard.  I wish everyone would start =
recognizing standards.  For that reason you'll always hear me stopping =
someone when I notice that their code is not up to standards :o)

Norman:

Offhand, I'd say that NN hates it when you use a percent as an image width =
or height. If you are using a spacer row make it the very first row in a =
table, set the (currently 100%) spacer image to it's minimum width =
allowable in pixel terms and set the td width to 100%. Don't set td widths =
anywhere else in your table except that one row. There is a good article =
on liquid tables at http://evolt.org/article/LiquidTables/20/2321/evolt.org=
.=20

NN4 also sometimes hiccups or pukes if attributes with special characters =
are not in quotes. It's good practice to always enclose all attributes in =
quotes....=20

such as :   width=3D"100" height=3D"1" or bgcolor=3D"#FFFFFF" width=3D"100%=
