Your impoliteness seems to be a play for you. It is not to me. Yes, all of this will be "recorded", brian, but your "exercise" is already answered in the very old link I gave. And what is the point of giving exercises instead of answers in a mailing list? Again, brian, if you want to do me a favour, just don't tell me what I can bring up in a discussion or not, and just don't tell me what part I am missing or not. You was wrong to say "This is not correct" to David. You may stretch very simple images in IE in very simple situations, and there is nothing particularly new with this attempt, but that's all. The general problem in IE was already stated by David, you cannot tile a filter, and there is nothing wrong in it what he said.
