No, I'm not a web designer, I'm a distributor/reseller. But I
bastardize sites in my spare time... If I understand it correctly, most
(if not all) of the uses for transparent gifs became obsolete w/the
advent of css.
CSS, using padding and margins or positioning, should be able to provide
pixel-level conrol over layouts. I dunno personally because I don't
have a need for that granularity. Apart from that, tables, frames...css
really changed the way I look at markup.
The one possible use of transparent gifs (prevention of image download)
seems intriguing but I can't find an example. (Happily, most people
don't want to bother copying the photo of Lucky, my 3-legged dog.)
Am I missing something?
thx,

p.s. for wonderful demonstrations of frame-like behavior, elegant
tables, menus & such -/all using validated & compliant xhtml & css/-
check out Stu Nicholls' most excellent romp at cssplay.co.uk. I've no
connection other than marvelling at, borrowing from & chatting with the
talented guy.
