a lot of web designers will use a spacer.gif. It's a 1x1 transparent gif image, that you can use to fill in space (w/o being visible), and you can resize it any size in the html coding. It's commonly used to fill empty table cells, or force invisible indents.

Used by designers who dont know any better.
Stylesheets are what you are SUPPOSED to use... spacer images are just... well... silly.

A rather snobby attitude, there is no 'supposed to use' in design work.
It's also rather snobby on the grounds that where as you may have had the benefit of a formal education in web design many are self taught or educated to a high leval in some other disipline and web design is must have quickly requirement.
Beats me that you bother to post with a snobby reply rather than make any efforet to address the question. Why bother?

And where exactly is your 'effort to address the question'? Why be bothered?

Ok I'll take an effort:
I Dunno.
(Correct me if I'm wrong)
Now it's your turn....You dunno either, do you?
While style sheets may be best for any similar items, quickly tweaking an inage or text for special positioning is easily done with a spacer image. It's also less code than many 'styled' pages I look at!
Being a bit ancient (1994) on the net and decrepit (senior citizen), I'll do my pages the easiest way possible that is acceptable by most browsers.

Spacers were in use long before stylesheets came into being. Not every web designer is up on every little trick, and sometimes simpler is still the best (it's hard for a web browser of any design to mistranslate a spacer image, but stylesheets? Not everybody has 100% compatibility with them. And
to get back to the original question: Obviously Imageready is still using them.
okblocked
i am wondering because i am not interested in programming html i am
when i see a structure of any program ... maybe learning just a bit htmland
doing everything mostly "visually" in webdesign is what i want to know... and of course countinue with my painting... but of course i'd like to work as a webdesigner as well specialze in adobe photoshop related programs and as subhuman suggested to make somthing original like a painting website or something... still i havent figured out should i leave spacer.gif or cani
erase it without having consequences for any html document or animation within...post
thanx i am so glad i made some people tickle their intelligence on this
(well not much but makes me happy:))
