And there's also tracking and kerning. Not vertical adjustments, but
still fun font stuff. :)

|Why does this result in whitespace between the images?

| <div style="border-width: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">
| <img src="images/logo.gif" width="150" height="66"
|alt="" />
| </div>
| <div style="border-width: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px">
| <img src="images/logo.gif" width="150" height="66"
|alt="" />

Try removing the whitespace between your div and img tags, i.e.
<div style=""><img src="" width="" height="" alt=""></div>
I made a simple test.htm page with a strict 4.01 doc type
<http://www.cnswebs.net/stuff/olav/test.htm>

my bad, sorry. My test.htm only removes the space in IE7, it doesn't work in FF
or Opera.
