Semantically (and generally) speaking, it's recommended that you use an <img> element if the image is actually part of the content (e.g. you're displaying a bunch of photos, maybe with comments) and a background image if it's 'decoration', such as a border. Of course, this can be subjective and the distinction gets somewhat blurry - a logo, for example, is not as obviously classified as the previous two examples. You may also find various benefits of one or the other for styling purposes, but you should try and avoid breaking the general rule if possible. - Bobby ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
