a lot of web designers will use a spacer.gif. It’s a 1×1 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?
Where’s yours?
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.
