Hi Christian,
Thanks for the help. I think I can do away with the containment div
around the bar graph img since I have another containment div already
performing some other functions. Any ideas on what is more correct:
<img src="bargraph.gif" height="<? some variable script here ?>" />
-OR-
<img src="bargraph.gif" style="height: <? some variable script here ?>" />
or in other words, does the image height declaration belong in the html or css?
If it does belong in the CSS, it would have to be in-line because I
don't think there is a way to write it dynamically into an outside
linked style sheet.
