I doubt that you will get many Netscape 6 viewers, but to the fix issue
with that browser add this to your stylesheet:

img {
display: block;
}

On dialup your page takes too long to load. Try optimizing the
graphics?

forgot to check how long it takes for dial up...very good point. it does take
awhile. how can i optimize the graphic though? the image inclding the title are
in jpg, since i want the image to look nice...while the other graphics are gif.
but what can I do in fireworks to help out with the slow download? i think i
set the jpeg to 100 quality.

thanks!!

Drop JPG to 65-70% quality.

Shoot for 40-45K total weight for your page.

I wouldn't recommend using the above method. If you turn all your images
into "display:block", then you may run into problems with other browsers.

To see what I mean, take the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<style type="text/css">
img { display:block; }
</style>
</head>

<body>
<p><img src="images/image.gif" width="20" height="20" /><img
src="images/image.gif" width="20" height="20" /></p>
</body>
</html>

Then open the page in IE6, you should see that the two graphics are not on
the same line like they should be.

To avoid the above problem, you would be better off using the following
code:
tr.decoration img { display:block; }

....then just declare the "decoration" class in your table row.
<tr class="decoration">...

thanks for the advice! I was going to use it..but id like to know what does it
do exactly???

also, please look at the url again:
http://www.nv.cc.va.us/manassas/homepage.html
dreamweaver is still reporting page size 269K which is real large I think. I
sliced all the images as 70% jpg quality, and the banner and title exported as
a gif..not much help. what else can i do? I dont want to compromise the quality
of the campus picture at least, if possible. thanks
