[WSG] IE and image markup white space

2006-07-03 Thread Designer

Dear Listees, I hope this is not OT, but I have a question about domain displays in the UA. The folk who I use to handle my domains do it in a way that displays the real location of the site in the browser address bar. So, if I put www.kernowimages.com in the address bar, it gets to the right
